What is a centipascal used for?

Centipascal measures very small pressures or pressure differences, commonly in microfluidics, low-pressure gas experiments, and sensitive sensor calibration.

How does newton per square centimeter relate to pascals?

One newton per square centimeter equals 10,000 pascals, representing a non-SI pressure unit used mainly in engineering contexts.

Why is the conversion from cPa to newton/square centimeter important?

It allows scientific measurements of small pressures to be expressed in engineering units compatible with mechanical testing, sensor calibration, and component specifications.
