What is a centipascal (cPa)?

It is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to one hundredth of a pascal, used to measure very small pressures or pressure differences.

What does newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) represent?

It is a pressure or mechanical stress unit defining one newton of force applied over one square millimeter, equivalent to one megapascal.

Why convert cPa to N/mm²?

To translate very small pressure measurements into mechanical stress units commonly used in engineering and materials science.

Key Features

Converts between centipascal and newton/square millimeter units precisely.
Supports pressure values suitable for scientific and engineering applications.
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
Helps translate small pressure readings into mechanical stress units.

Examples

100 cPa converts to 1e-6 N/mm² using the formula 100 × 1e-8.
5000 cPa equals 5e-5 N/mm² by applying 5000 × 1e-8.

Common Use Cases

Reporting very small pressure fluctuations in microfluidics and gas-flow experiments.
Calibrating sensitive differential-pressure sensors in HVAC and filtration systems.
Monitoring minor pressure changes in cleanrooms and medical respiratory devices.
Specifying tensile or yield strengths of metals during materials engineering.
Expressing compressive strength values of concrete and other structural materials.
Describing hydraulic system pressures and stress analyses in mechanical design.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values reflect very small pressures as expected for centipascal readings.
Interpret very small output values carefully to avoid errors due to decimal scale.
Use precision measurement instruments when dealing with converted values in N/mm².
Cross-validate converted values when integrating results into engineering calculations.

Limitations

Conversion results may be extremely small decimal numbers due to unit scale differences.
Requires precision and careful interpretation to prevent computational or rounding mistakes.
