Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a femtopascal used to measure?
-
A femtopascal measures extremely low pressures such as those found in ultra-high vacuum or interstellar gas environments.
-
Why convert femtopascal to atmosphere technical?
-
Conversions translate ultra-low scientific pressure data into legacy industrial units for easier comparison and analysis of older equipment or literature.
-
Is the atmosphere technical a standard SI unit?
-
No, the atmosphere technical is a non-SI unit mostly used in historical and engineering contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Femtopascal [fPa]
-
A unit representing 10⁻¹⁵ pascals used to measure extremely low pressures in scientific fields.
-
Atmosphere Technical [at]
-
A non-SI pressure unit equal to one kilogram-force per square centimetre, used in older industrial and engineering applications.
-
Pressure
-
Force applied per unit area, measured in various units such as pascals or atmospheres.
