What is the exact conversion rate from newton/square meter to micropascal?

One newton per square meter equals one million micropascal, or 1 N/m² = 1,000,000 µPa.

In which fields is this conversion most commonly used?

This conversion is frequently applied in acoustics, underwater sound measurements, and sensitive audio instrumentation calibration.

Can this converter be used for high-pressure values?

No, converting high pressures to micropascal results in very large numbers and is impractical for such applications.
