What is femtopascal used for?

Femtopascal measures extremely low pressure values, such as ultra-low gas pressures in interstellar space or residual pressures in ultra-high-vacuum experiments.

Why use inch mercury (60°F) as a pressure unit?

Inch mercury (60°F) is commonly used for atmospheric pressure reporting, aviation altimeter calibration, and vacuum system measurements due to its consistent reference temperature.

Are there precision issues when converting femtopascal to inch mercury?

Yes, because femtopascal is extremely small compared to inch mercury, conversions produce very small decimal numbers that can be prone to rounding errors.
