What is the conversion rate from pascal to attopascal?

1 pascal (Pa) is equal to 1 x 10^18 attopascals (aPa).

In which fields is the attopascal unit commonly used?

Attopascal units are used in astrophysics, space physics, ultra-high vacuum science, cryogenics, and theoretical physics requiring ultra-fine pressure measurements.

Can attopascal units be used for regular atmospheric pressure measurements?

No, attopascal units are too small and impractical for typical atmospheric or everyday pressure measurements.

Key Features

Converts from pascal [Pa], the SI derived unit of pressure, to attopascal [aPa].
Handles ultra-small pressure values suitable for astrophysics, space physics, and vacuum science.
Provides a straightforward interface to apply the conversion factor of 1 Pa = 10^18 aPa.
Facilitates expressing pressures far smaller than typical laboratory or atmospheric ranges.

Examples

2 Pa equals 2 x 10^18 aPa, which is 2000000000000000000 attopascals.
0.5 Pa converts to 0.5 x 10^18 aPa, resulting in 500000000000000000 attopascals.

Common Use Cases

Meteorology reports air pressure using pascals, and ultra-low pressure details can be expressed in attopascals.
Engineering and hydraulics apply pascal pressures in systems, while attopascals are useful in experimental vacuum systems.
Astrophysics and space physics require attopascal to quantify extremely low pressures in deep space and interstellar environments.
Surface science, cryogenic, and accelerator experiments use attopascal units to describe residual gas pressures under ultra-high vacuum.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you use sensitive and appropriate instrumentation when working with attopascal-level pressures.
Confirm the context of pressure measurement to determine if attopascal units are relevant and practical.
Use this conversion for theoretical or computational physics results to accurately show ultra-low pressure values.
Double-check input values to avoid errors when handling extremely large conversion factors.

Limitations

Attopascal units represent extremely small pressure scales (10^-18 Pa) and are not suitable for everyday pressure measurements.
Conversion to attopascals requires specialized equipment able to detect such minuscule pressures.
The unit is mainly relevant in advanced scientific research, making it impractical for general pressure applications.
