What is a femtopascal used to measure?

Femtopascal measures extremely small pressures such as ultra-low gas pressures in space or residual pressures in ultra-high vacuum experiments.

Why convert femtopascal to newton per square centimeter?

Converting allows translation of very small scientific pressure measurements into units commonly used for stress on small material samples and engineering components.

Are converted values always easy to interpret?

No, because femtopascal represents pressures several orders smaller, converted numbers may be very small and difficult to measure or apply in typical engineering contexts.
