Convert microbar to picopascal
Please provide values below to convert microbar [µbar] to picopascal [pPa], or Convert picopascal to microbar.
1 µbar = 100000000000 pPa. To convert microbar to picopascal, multiply the value by 100000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pPa = 1.0000e-11 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 = 100000000000 pPa
- 1 pPa = 1.0000e-11 µbar
- 10 µbar = 1e+12 pPa
- 100 µbar = 1.0000e+13 pPa
How to Convert Microbar to Picopascal
1 µbar = 100000000000 pPa
Example: convert 15 µbar to pPa:
15 µbar = 15 × 100000000000 pPa = 1500000000000 pPa

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.
Picopascal
The picopascal (pPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-12 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The picopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very low pressures, primarily in scientific research and specialized fields requiring high precision. Its usage has been limited due to the small magnitude of the unit.
Current Use
Currently, the picopascal is rarely used in practical applications but may be employed in scientific experiments involving ultra-low pressure measurements or in theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure values are relevant.
