Convert microbar to micropascal
Please provide values below to convert microbar [µbar] to micropascal [µPa], or Convert micropascal to microbar.
How to Convert Microbar to Micropascal
1 µbar = 100000 µPa
Example: convert 15 µbar to µPa:
15 µbar = 15 × 100000 µPa = 1500000 µPa

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.
Micropascal
The micropascal (µPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a pascal, used to measure very low pressures.
History/Origin
The micropascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system to quantify extremely small pressure values, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, though it is rarely used in practical applications.
Current Use
The micropascal is primarily used in scientific research, acoustics, and environmental monitoring where precise measurement of very low pressures is required.
