Convert newtons per square millimeter to millipascals

Explanation

From this page you can convert newtons per square millimeter to millipascals (or N/mm² to mPa) simply, by using the application above.

In case you are wondering, to convert from newtons per square millimeter to millipascals you need to multiply by 1000000000. This factor is calculated using the respective definitions of the two units you can find below.

Formula

1 N/mm²=1000000000 mPa

newtons per square millimeterN/mm²

dimension	pressure
symbol	N/mm²

The newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a unit of pressure.

Definition of the newton per square millimeter

It is the pressure exerted by a force of one newton on a surface of one square millimeter.

Value

One newton per square millimeter is equal to 1000000 pascals.

Equivalences

One newton per square millimeter is equivalent to:

Some Facts

If an adult male african elephant were to put all his weight on one of its feet, the pressure exerted would only be roughly 0.4 newtons per square millimeter. Of course if the same elephant were to put on high heels it would skyrocket to 600 newtons per square millimeters, but it won't even try.

Other pressure units

newton per square centimeter	N/cm²	10 000
newton per square millimeter	N/mm²	1 000 000

The millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure.

Definition of the millipascal

One millipascal is equal to 0.001 pascals.

Equivalences

Here are some equivalences between the millipascal and other pressure units:

Some Facts

A pressure in the order of the millipascal is pretty insignificant. A sheet of paper laying flat on a table somewhere on Earth would apply a pressure of roughly 600 millipascals by itself. The pressure created by the atmosphere above the sheet of paper would be tens of thousands of time greater.

Prefix

milli

10^-3

The prefix milli- comes from the Latin mille meaning a thousand. The associated multiplicative factor is 0.001 or 10^-3.

The International System of Units

The International System of Units or SI (from the French Système international (d'unité)), also called metric system in the U.S., is a coherent system of units that was published 1960. It is official in nearly every country.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence générale des poids et mesures) is tasked with overseeing the SI.
