Convert pascal to millipascal
Please provide values below to convert pascal [Pa] to millipascal [mPa], or Convert millipascal to pascal.
1 Pa = 1000 mPa. To convert pascal to millipascal, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mPa = 0.001 Pa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Pa = 1000 mPa
- 1 mPa = 0.001 Pa
- 10 Pa = 10000 mPa
- 100 Pa = 100000 mPa
How to Convert Pascal to Millipascal
1 Pa = 1000 mPa
Example: convert 15 Pa to mPa:
15 Pa = 15 × 1000 mPa = 15000 mPa

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.
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'.
Frequently Asked Questions
