Convert millibar to femtopascal
Please provide values below to convert millibar [mbar] to femtopascal [fPa], or Convert femtopascal to millibar.
1 mbar = 1.0000e+17 fPa. To convert millibar to femtopascal, multiply the value by 1.0000e+17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fPa = 1.0000e-17 mbar). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mbar = 1.0000e+17 fPa
- 1 fPa = 1.0000e-17 mbar
- 10 mbar = 1.0000e+18 fPa
- 100 mbar = 1.0000e+19 fPa
How to Convert Millibar to Femtopascal
1 mbar = 1e+17 fPa
Example: convert 15 mbar to fPa:
15 mbar = 15 × 1e+17 fPa = 1.5e+18 fPa

Millibar
A millibar (mbar) is a unit of pressure measurement equal to one-thousandth of a bar, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The millibar was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for meteorological measurements, replacing the bar in many applications due to its smaller size. It became widely adopted in weather reporting and atmospheric studies.
Current Use
Today, the millibar is still used in meteorology and atmospheric sciences to report atmospheric pressure, although it is gradually being replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts. It remains a standard unit in weather forecasts and reports.
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.
