Convert microbar to terapascal
Please provide values below to convert microbar [µbar] to terapascal [TPa], or Convert terapascal to microbar.
1 µbar = 1.0000e-13 TPa. To convert microbar to terapascal, multiply the value by 1.0000e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TPa = 1.0000e+13 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-13 TPa
- 1 TPa = 1.0000e+13 µbar
- 10 µbar = 1.0000e-12 TPa
- 100 µbar = 1.0000e-11 TPa
How to Convert Microbar to Terapascal
1 µbar = 1e-13 TPa
Example: convert 15 µbar to TPa:
15 µbar = 15 × 1e-13 TPa = 1.5e-12 TPa

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.
Terapascal
A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one trillion pascals (10^12 Pa).
History/Origin
The terapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure extremely high pressures, especially in scientific research involving materials under extreme conditions, such as in geophysics and high-energy physics.
Current Use
The terapascal is used in scientific fields to quantify very high pressures, such as in studying Earth's deep interior, material science, and high-pressure physics experiments.
