Convert nanonewton to petanewton
Please provide values below to convert nanonewton [nN] to petanewton [PT], or Convert petanewton to nanonewton.
1 nN = 1.0000e-24 PT. To convert nanonewton to petanewton, multiply the value by 1.0000e-24; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PT = 1.0000e+24 nN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nN = 1.0000e-24 PT
- 1 PT = 1.0000e+24 nN
- 10 nN = 1.0000e-23 PT
- 100 nN = 1.0000e-22 PT
How to Convert Nanonewton to Petanewton
1 nN = 1e-24 PT
Example: convert 15 nN to PT:
15 nN = 15 × 1e-24 PT = 1.5e-23 PT

Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
Petanewton
A petanewton (PT) is a unit of force equal to 10^15 newtons, used for measuring extremely large forces.
History/Origin
The petanewton was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to facilitate the expression of very large forces, although it is rarely used in practical applications due to the scale of forces involved.
Current Use
The petanewton is primarily used in scientific contexts involving large-scale forces, such as astrophysics and cosmology, but remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
