Convert millipascal to micropascal
Please provide values below to convert millipascal [mPa] to micropascal [µPa], or Convert micropascal to millipascal.
1 mPa = 1000 µPa. To convert millipascal to micropascal, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µPa = 0.001 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 = 1000 µPa
- 1 µPa = 0.001 mPa
- 10 mPa = 10000 µPa
- 100 mPa = 100000 µPa
How to Convert Millipascal to Micropascal
1 mPa = 1000 µPa
Example: convert 15 mPa to µPa:
15 mPa = 15 × 1000 µPa = 15000 µPa

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'.
Micropascal
The micropascal (µPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a pascal, used to measure very low pressures.
History/Origin
The micropascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system to quantify extremely small pressure values, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, though it is rarely used in practical applications.
Current Use
The micropascal is primarily used in scientific research, acoustics, and environmental monitoring where precise measurement of very low pressures is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 millipascal in micropascal?
1 millipascal (mPa) = 1000 micropascal (µPa).
How do you convert millipascal to micropascal?
