Convert microbar to femtopascal
Please provide values below to convert microbar [µbar] to femtopascal [fPa], or Convert femtopascal to microbar.
1 µbar = 1.0000e+14 fPa. To convert microbar to femtopascal, multiply the value by 1.0000e+14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fPa = 1.0000e-14 µbar). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µbar = 1.0000e+14 fPa
- 1 fPa = 1.0000e-14 µbar
- 10 µbar = 1.0000e+15 fPa
- 100 µbar = 1.0000e+16 fPa
How to Convert Microbar to Femtopascal
1 µbar = 100000000000000 fPa
Example: convert 15 µbar to fPa:
15 µbar = 15 × 100000000000000 fPa = 1.5e+15 fPa

Microbar
A microbar (µbar) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a bar, where 1 bar equals 100,000 pascals.
History/Origin
The microbar was introduced as a subunit of the bar to measure very low pressures, particularly in meteorology and vacuum technology, gaining usage in the 20th century as precision pressure measurements became more common.
Current Use
Today, the microbar is used primarily in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure variations and in scientific research requiring precise low-pressure measurements.
Femtopascal
The femtopascal (fPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-15 pascals.
History/Origin
The femtopascal is a derived SI unit introduced as part of the International System of Units' effort to create a comprehensive set of prefixes for very small measurements, although it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
The femtopascal is primarily used in scientific research involving extremely low pressure measurements, such as in nanotechnology and quantum physics, but it remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
