What is a femtopascal used for?

A femtopascal measures extremely small pressures typically found in astrophysics or ultra-high vacuum experiments.

Why convert femtopascal to newton per square millimeter?

Converting femtopascal to newton per square millimeter helps relate ultra-low scientific pressure values to engineering stress units.

Can I use this conversion for typical engineering pressures?

No, femtopascal is for ultra-low pressures and differs greatly from common engineering pressure units like newton per square millimeter.
