Micropascal
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Micropascals (µPa) are a unit of pressure 1,000,000 times smaller than the SI Unit; the Pascal.
About Micropascals
- Micropascals are shortened to µPa with the Greek letter µ, an upper case P and a lower case a..
- Micro means one millionth so there are 1,000,000 micropascals in a Pascal.
