Convert newton/square centimeter to pascal
Please provide values below to convert newton/square centimeter [N/cm^2] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to newton/square centimeter.
1 N/cm^2 = 10000 Pa. To convert newton/square centimeter to pascal, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 0.0001 N/cm^2). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 N/cm^2 = 10000 Pa
- 1 Pa = 0.0001 N/cm^2
- 10 N/cm^2 = 100000 Pa
- 100 N/cm^2 = 1000000 Pa
How to Convert Newton/square Centimeter to Pascal
1 N/cm^2 = 10000 Pa
Example: convert 15 N/cm^2 to Pa:
15 N/cm^2 = 15 × 10000 Pa = 150000 Pa

Newton/square Centimeter
The newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI unit of force, the newton, combined with the centimeter as a unit of area. It has been used in fields like engineering and physics to measure pressure, especially in contexts where the centimeter is a convenient unit of length. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/m².
Current Use
The N/cm² is still used in certain engineering and industrial applications, particularly in contexts where pressure measurements are expressed in centimeters rather than meters. It is also used in some scientific fields for convenience, though the pascal is more common internationally.
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.
