Convert nanopascal to picopascal
Please provide values below to convert nanopascal [nPa] to picopascal [pPa], or Convert picopascal to nanopascal.
How to Convert Nanopascal to Picopascal
1 nPa = 1000 pPa
Example: convert 15 nPa to pPa:
15 nPa = 15 × 1000 pPa = 15000 pPa

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.
Picopascal
The picopascal (pPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-12 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The picopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very low pressures, primarily in scientific research and specialized fields requiring high precision. Its usage has been limited due to the small magnitude of the unit.
Current Use
Currently, the picopascal is rarely used in practical applications but may be employed in scientific experiments involving ultra-low pressure measurements or in theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure values are relevant.
