Convert nanopascal to decipascal
Please provide values below to convert nanopascal [nPa] to decipascal [dPa], or Convert decipascal to nanopascal.
How to Convert Nanopascal to Decipascal
1 nPa = 1e-08 dPa
Example: convert 15 nPa to dPa:
15 nPa = 15 × 1e-08 dPa = 1.5e-07 dPa
Nanopascal to Decipascal Conversion Table
| nanopascal | decipascal |

Nanopascal
The nanopascal (nPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billionth of a pascal, where 1 nPa = 10^-9 Pa.
History/Origin
The nanopascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system's extension to accommodate very small pressure measurements, primarily in scientific research involving micro- and nanoscale phenomena.
Current Use
Nanopascals are used in high-precision scientific applications such as atmospheric pressure measurements, microfluidics, and nanotechnology research where extremely low pressure differences need to be quantified.
Decipascal
The decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one-tenth of a pascal, where 1 dPa = 0.1 Pa.
History/Origin
The decipascal was introduced as a metric unit to provide finer measurement options within the pressure unit system, though it is rarely used in practice due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
The decipascal is seldom used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific contexts or educational settings for illustrative purposes.
