Convert millipascal to newton/square millimeter
Please provide values below to convert millipascal [mPa] to newton/square millimeter [N/mm^2], or Convert newton/square millimeter to millipascal.
How to Convert Millipascal to Newton/square Millimeter
1 mPa = 1e-09 N/mm^2
Example: convert 15 mPa to N/mm^2:
15 mPa = 15 × 1e-09 N/mm^2 = 1.5e-08 N/mm^2

Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
Newton/square Millimeter
Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a unit of pressure or stress, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI base unit newton for force and the millimeter for area, commonly used in engineering and material science to measure stress and pressure. It has been in use since the adoption of the SI system, with increased application in fields requiring precise measurement of high pressures.
Current Use
N/mm² is widely used in engineering, material science, and construction to specify material strength, stress, and pressure levels, especially in contexts where high precision is required, such as in the specification of tensile strength and pressure ratings.
