millipascal to decapascal
Convert millipascal (mPa) to decapascal (daPa). Use an editable pressure converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 mPa = 0.0001 daPa
Conversion formula
One millipascal equals 0.0001 decapascal. Multiply your value in millipascal by this factor to get decapascal. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 millipascal:5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 daPa

About these measurements
Pressure is force per unit of area.
The base reference used here is the pascal. One millipascal is 0.001 base units; one decapascal is 10 base units.
Important distinctions
Gauge and absolute pressures must not be mixed. This converts units without changing the reference pressure.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert mPa to daPa?
Multiply the quantity in mPa by 0.0001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the decapascal to millipascal converter.
