Context values
Some unit families need one extra value for a physically accurate result.
Attopascal is 1e-18 pascal units.
Result = input x 0.01 / 1e-18.
Pressure uses the pascal as the base unit.

About Converting Centipascals to Attopascals
Centipascal and Attopascal both show up on pressure gauges — psi is standard on US tire and tool specifications, while bar is the everyday pressure unit across most of the rest of the world. Specifically: Centipascal is 0.01 pascal units, and attopascal is 1e-18 pascal units.
Formula
attopascals = centipascals × 1e+16
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centipascal equals 0.01 base units, and 1 attopascal equals 1e-18 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centipascal-to-attopascal factor of 1e+16.
Simple example
1 cPa × 1e+16 = 1e+16 aPa
1 centipascal = 1e+16 attopascals.
Real-world example
35 cPa × 1e+16 = 3.5e+17 aPa
35 centipascals = 3.5e+17 attopascals.

Reverse conversion: Attopascal to Centipascal
1e+16 aPa × 1e-16 = 1 cPa
1e+16 attopascals = 1 centipascal.

Frequently asked questions
How many attopascals are in 1 centipascal?
1 centipascal equals 1e+16 attopascals, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centipascal to attopascal?
Multiply the centipascal value by 1e+16. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert attopascal back to centipascal?
Use the reverse factor: 1 attopascal equals 1e-16 centipascals. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centipascal?
Centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure.
What is a attopascal?
Attopascal (aPa) is a unit of pressure.
Is the centipascal to attopascal conversion exact?
Yes. Both centipascal and attopascal are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e+16 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
