Convert femtopascal to pascal
Please provide values below to convert femtopascal [fPa] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to femtopascal.
1 fPa = 1.0000e-15 Pa. To convert femtopascal to pascal, multiply the value by 1.0000e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 1.0000e+15 fPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fPa = 1.0000e-15 Pa
- 1 Pa = 1.0000e+15 fPa
- 10 fPa = 1.0000e-14 Pa
- 100 fPa = 1.0000e-13 Pa
How to Convert Femtopascal to Pascal
1 fPa = 1e-15 Pa
Example: convert 15 fPa to Pa:
15 fPa = 15 × 1e-15 Pa = 1.5e-14 Pa

Femtopascal
The femtopascal (fPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-15 pascals.
History/Origin
The femtopascal is a derived SI unit introduced as part of the International System of Units' effort to create a comprehensive set of prefixes for very small measurements, although it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
The femtopascal is primarily used in scientific research involving extremely low pressure measurements, such as in nanotechnology and quantum physics, but it remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtopascal in pascal?
1 femtopascal (fPa) = 1.0000e-15 pascal (Pa).
How do you convert femtopascal to pascal?
Multiply the femtopascal value by 1.0000e-15. For example, 25 fPa × 1.0000e-15 = 2.5000e-14 Pa.
What is 10 femtopascal in pascal?
10 fPa = 1.0000e-14 Pa.
Which unit is larger, the femtopascal or the pascal?
The pascal is the larger unit: 1 fPa equals only 1.0000e-15 Pa.
