Convert nanopascal to petapascal
Please provide values below to convert nanopascal [nPa] to petapascal [PPa], or Convert petapascal to nanopascal.
How to Convert Nanopascal to Petapascal
1 nPa = 1e-24 PPa
Example: convert 15 nPa to PPa:
15 nPa = 15 × 1e-24 PPa = 1.5e-23 PPa
Nanopascal to Petapascal Conversion Table
| nanopascal | petapascal |

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.
Petapascal
A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^15 pascals.
History/Origin
The petapascal was introduced as part of the SI prefix system to represent extremely high pressures, mainly in scientific and industrial contexts, as the need to measure such large values arose with advancements in high-pressure physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
Petapascal is used in fields such as astrophysics, geophysics, and high-pressure physics to quantify extremely high pressures, such as those found in planetary interiors or during high-energy experiments.
