Millipascal

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

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

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.

Conversion

1 millipascal is equivalent to:

• 0.001 pascals
• 0.01 centipascals
• 0.00001 decipascals
• 0.000001 hectopascals
• 0.0000001 kilopascals
