Convert millipascal to pascal
Please provide values below to convert millipascal [mPa] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to millipascal.
1 mPa = 0.001 Pa. To convert millipascal to pascal, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 1000 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 = 0.001 Pa
- 1 Pa = 1000 mPa
- 10 mPa = 0.01 Pa
- 100 mPa = 0.1 Pa
How to Convert Millipascal to Pascal
1 mPa = 0.001 Pa
Example: convert 15 mPa to Pa:
15 mPa = 15 × 0.001 Pa = 0.015 Pa

Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
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 millipascal in pascal?
1 millipascal (mPa) = 0.001 pascal (Pa).
How do you convert millipascal to pascal?
Multiply the millipascal value by 0.001. For example, 25 mPa × 0.001 = 0.025 Pa.
What is 10 millipascal in pascal?
10 mPa = 0.01 Pa.
Which unit is larger, the millipascal or the pascal?
The pascal is the larger unit: 1 mPa equals only 0.001 Pa.
