Convert millipascal to nanopascal
Please provide values below to convert millipascal [mPa] to nanopascal [nPa], or Convert nanopascal to millipascal.
How to Convert Millipascal to Nanopascal
1 mPa = 1000000 nPa
Example: convert 15 mPa to nPa:
15 mPa = 15 × 1000000 nPa = 15000000 nPa

Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
Nanopascal
The nanopascal (nPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billionth of a pascal, where 1 nPa = 10^-9 Pa.
History/Origin
The nanopascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system's extension to accommodate very small pressure measurements, primarily in scientific research involving micro- and nanoscale phenomena.
Current Use
Nanopascals are used in high-precision scientific applications such as atmospheric pressure measurements, microfluidics, and nanotechnology research where extremely low pressure differences need to be quantified.
