Context values
Some unit families need one extra value for a physically accurate result.
Micropascal is 0.000001 pascal units.
Result = input x 0.01 / 1e-6.
Pressure uses the pascal as the base unit.

About Converting Centipascals to Micropascals
Centipascal and Micropascal 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 micropascal is 0.000001 pascal units.
Formula
micropascals = centipascals × 10000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centipascal equals 0.01 base units, and 1 micropascal equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centipascal-to-micropascal factor of 10000.
Simple example
1 cPa × 10000 = 10,000 uPa
1 centipascal = 10,000 micropascals.
Real-world example
35 cPa × 10000 = 350,000 uPa
35 centipascals = 350,000 micropascals.

Frequently asked questions
How many micropascals are in 1 centipascal?
1 centipascal equals 10,000 micropascals, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centipascal to micropascal?
Multiply the centipascal value by 10000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert micropascal back to centipascal?
Use the reverse factor: 1 micropascal equals 0.0001 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 micropascal?
Micropascal (uPa) is a unit of pressure.
Is the centipascal to micropascal conversion exact?
Yes. Both centipascal and micropascal are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 10000 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
