What is a femtopascal?

A femtopascal (fPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10⁻¹⁵ pascals, used to measure ultra-low pressures such as those in interstellar space or ultra-high vacuum experiments.

How does micropascal relate to femtopascal?

One micropascal (µPa) equals 10⁻⁶ pascals. The conversion between femtopascal and micropascal is 1 fPa = 1×10⁻⁹ µPa.

Why convert femtopascal to micropascal?

Converting femtopascal to micropascal helps compare extremely low pressures from astrophysical or vacuum contexts with more common acoustic pressure measurements.
