What is a millipascal used for?

A millipascal is used to measure very small pressure values, such as those found in microfluidics, MEMS devices, or sensitive acoustic measurements.

Why convert millipascals to hectopascals?

Converting to hectopascals allows small pressure readings to be expressed in a standardized unit common in meteorology, aviation, and atmospheric research.

Is the conversion from millipascal to hectopascal a simple multiplication?

Yes, the conversion uses a fixed factor where 1 millipascal equals 0.00001 hectopascal.
