Convert nanopascal to pascal
Please provide values below to convert nanopascal [nPa] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to nanopascal.
1 nPa = 1e-09 Pa. To convert nanopascal to pascal, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 1000000000 nPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nPa = 1e-09 Pa
- 1 Pa = 1000000000 nPa
- 10 nPa = 1e-08 Pa
- 100 nPa = 1e-07 Pa
How to Convert Nanopascal to Pascal
1 nPa = 1e-09 Pa
Example: convert 15 nPa to Pa:
15 nPa = 15 × 1e-09 Pa = 1.5e-08 Pa

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.
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 nanopascal in pascal?
1 nanopascal (nPa) = 1e-09 pascal (Pa).
How do you convert nanopascal to pascal?
Multiply the nanopascal value by 1e-09. For example, 25 nPa × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 Pa.
What is 10 nanopascal in pascal?
10 nPa = 1e-08 Pa.
Which unit is larger, the nanopascal or the pascal?
The pascal is the larger unit: 1 nPa equals only 1e-09 Pa.
