What is a dekapascal used for?

A dekapascal (daPa) measures pressure such as middle-ear pressure in audiology, small pressure differences in HVAC, cleanrooms, and calibration of low-pressure sensors.

Why convert dekapascal to centipascal?

This conversion helps translate medium-low pressure values into finer units, enabling precise scientific measurements and sensitive sensor calibrations.

Can I use centipascal for high-pressure measurements?

No, centipascal is intended for very small pressure measurements and is less meaningful for high-pressure applications.
