Convert attopascal to centipascal
Please provide values below to convert attopascal [aPa] to centipascal [cPa], or Convert centipascal to attopascal.
1 aPa = 1.0000e-16 cPa. To convert attopascal to centipascal, multiply the value by 1.0000e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cPa = 1.0000e+16 aPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aPa = 1.0000e-16 cPa
- 1 cPa = 1.0000e+16 aPa
- 10 aPa = 1.0000e-15 cPa
- 100 aPa = 1.0000e-14 cPa
How to Convert Attopascal to Centipascal
1 aPa = 1e-16 cPa
Example: convert 15 aPa to cPa:
15 aPa = 15 × 1e-16 cPa = 1.5e-15 cPa

Attopascal
The attopascal (aPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-18 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The attopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to denote very small quantities of pressure, but it is rarely used in practical applications due to its minuscule magnitude.
Current Use
The attopascal is primarily used in scientific research and theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure differences are relevant, although it remains largely a conceptual unit.
Centipascal
The centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one hundredth of a pascal, where 1 pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The centipascal was introduced as a smaller unit of pressure for more precise measurements, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts, although it is not widely used in practice. It derives from the pascal, the SI base unit established in 1960.
Current Use
The centipascal is rarely used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific literature or calibration contexts where fine pressure distinctions are necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attopascal in centipascal?
1 attopascal (aPa) = 1.0000e-16 centipascal (cPa).
How do you convert attopascal to centipascal?
Multiply the attopascal value by 1.0000e-16. For example, 25 aPa × 1.0000e-16 = 2.5000e-15 cPa.
What is 10 attopascal in centipascal?
10 aPa = 1.0000e-15 cPa.
Which unit is larger, the attopascal or the centipascal?
The centipascal is the larger unit: 1 aPa equals only 1.0000e-16 cPa.
