Convert microbar to nanopascal
Please provide values below to convert microbar [µbar] to nanopascal [nPa], or Convert nanopascal to microbar.
How to Convert Microbar to Nanopascal
1 µbar = 100000000 nPa
Example: convert 15 µbar to nPa:
15 µbar = 15 × 100000000 nPa = 1500000000 nPa

Microbar
A microbar (µbar) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a bar, where 1 bar equals 100,000 pascals.
History/Origin
The microbar was introduced as a subunit of the bar to measure very low pressures, particularly in meteorology and vacuum technology, gaining usage in the 20th century as precision pressure measurements became more common.
Current Use
Today, the microbar is used primarily in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure variations and in scientific research requiring precise low-pressure measurements.
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.
