Convert millipascal to pascal
Millipascal
The millipascal (symbol: mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10⁻³ pascals, formed by applying the SI prefix milli- to the pascal. It is used in precision pressure measurement, including the characterisation of very low gas pressures and acoustic pressures in research environments. One millipascal equals 0.001 N/m².
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square metre (N/m²). It was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1971 and named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal. Standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 101,325 Pa, and it is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology.
