Convert megapascal to nanopascal
Please provide values below to convert megapascal [MPa] to nanopascal [nPa], or Convert nanopascal to megapascal.
1 MPa = 1.0000e+15 nPa. To convert megapascal to nanopascal, multiply the value by 1.0000e+15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nPa = 1.0000e-15 MPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 MPa = 1.0000e+15 nPa
- 1 nPa = 1.0000e-15 MPa
- 10 MPa = 1.0000e+16 nPa
- 100 MPa = 1.0000e+17 nPa
How to Convert Megapascal to Nanopascal
1 MPa = 1e+15 nPa
Example: convert 15 MPa to nPa:
15 MPa = 15 × 1e+15 nPa = 1.5e+16 nPa

Megapascal
The megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the pressure exerted by a force of one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The megapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a convenient scale for measuring high pressures, especially in engineering and scientific applications, replacing larger units like the bar in many contexts.
Current Use
The MPa is widely used today in engineering, material science, and industrial applications to specify pressures in fields such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and structural engineering.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
