Convert centipascal to nanopascal
Please provide values below to convert centipascal [cPa] to nanopascal [nPa], or Convert nanopascal to centipascal.
1 cPa = 10000000 nPa. To convert centipascal to nanopascal, multiply the value by 10000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nPa = 1e-07 cPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cPa = 10000000 nPa
- 1 nPa = 1e-07 cPa
- 10 cPa = 100000000 nPa
- 100 cPa = 1000000000 nPa
How to Convert Centipascal to Nanopascal
1 cPa = 10000000 nPa
Example: convert 15 cPa to nPa:
15 cPa = 15 × 10000000 nPa = 150000000 nPa

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.
Nanopascal
The nanopascal (nPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billionth of a pascal, where 1 nPa = 10^-9 Pa.
History/Origin
The nanopascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system's extension to accommodate very small pressure measurements, primarily in scientific research involving micro- and nanoscale phenomena.
Current Use
Nanopascals are used in high-precision scientific applications such as atmospheric pressure measurements, microfluidics, and nanotechnology research where extremely low pressure differences need to be quantified.
