What is an attopascal?

An attopascal (aPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-18 pascal, used to measure extremely low pressures such as those found in space physics or ultra-high vacuum systems.

Why convert attopascal to centimeter mercury (0°C)?

Converting attopascal to centimeter mercury (0°C) helps express ultra-low pressure values in conventional manometric units commonly used in laboratories and engineering.

Are conversions between attopascal and centimeter mercury practical for all pressures?

No, due to the very small scale of attopascal pressures compared to centimeter mercury, these conversions yield very tiny numbers that may be below typical measurement limits.
