How to Convert Petapascal to Attopascal
1 PPa = 1e+33 aPa
Example: convert 15 PPa to aPa:
15 PPa = 15 × 1e+33 aPa = 1.5e+34 aPa
Petapascal to Attopascal Conversion Table

Petapascal
A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^15 pascals.
History/Origin
The petapascal was introduced as part of the SI prefix system to represent extremely high pressures, mainly in scientific and industrial contexts, as the need to measure such large values arose with advancements in high-pressure physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
Petapascal is used in fields such as astrophysics, geophysics, and high-pressure physics to quantify extremely high pressures, such as those found in planetary interiors or during high-energy experiments.
Attopascal
The attopascal (aPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-18 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The attopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to denote very small quantities of pressure, but it is rarely used in practical applications due to its minuscule magnitude.
Current Use
The attopascal is primarily used in scientific research and theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure differences are relevant, although it remains largely a conceptual unit.
