Millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from pascal (Pa), the SI unit for pressure, and is equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a pascal.

Definition[edit | edit source]

The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit for pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (newton/square meter). The millipascal is a derived unit, equal to 0.001 pascals. It is used in various fields of science and engineering to measure small pressure differences.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The millipascal is commonly used in acoustics to measure sound pressure. In medicine, it is used in the measurement of blood pressure and intraocular pressure. It is also used in physics and engineering to measure small pressure differences in fluids and gases.
