Convert femtopascal to newton/square millimeter
Please provide values below to convert femtopascal [fPa] to newton/square millimeter [N/mm^2], or Convert newton/square millimeter to femtopascal.
How to Convert Femtopascal to Newton/square Millimeter
1 fPa = 1e-21 N/mm^2
Example: convert 15 fPa to N/mm^2:
15 fPa = 15 × 1e-21 N/mm^2 = 1.5e-20 N/mm^2

Femtopascal
The femtopascal (fPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-15 pascals.
History/Origin
The femtopascal is a derived SI unit introduced as part of the International System of Units' effort to create a comprehensive set of prefixes for very small measurements, although it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
The femtopascal is primarily used in scientific research involving extremely low pressure measurements, such as in nanotechnology and quantum physics, but it remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
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.
