nanopascal to micropascal
Convert nanopascal (nPa) to micropascal (μPa). Use an editable pressure converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 nPa = 0.001 μPa
Conversion formula
One nanopascal equals 0.001 micropascal. Multiply your value in nanopascal by this factor to get micropascal. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 nanopascal:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 μPa

About these measurements
Pressure is force per unit of area.
The base reference used here is the pascal. One nanopascal is 1e-9 base units; one micropascal is 0.000001 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 nPa to μPa?
Multiply the quantity in nPa by 0.001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the micropascal to nanopascal converter.
