What is a dekapascal (daPa)?

A dekapascal is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to 10 pascals, commonly used in audiology and small pressure-differential measurements.

What does femtopascal (fPa) measure?

Femtopascal measures extremely small pressures, such as ultra-low gas pressures in scientific and astrophysical research.

How do I convert dekapascal to femtopascal?

Multiply the pressure value in dekapascal by 10¹⁶ to get the equivalent pressure in femtopascal.
