The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify inte

rnal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is defi
ned as one newton per square metre.[1] It is named after the French polymath Bla
ise Pascal.
Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa) which i
s equal to one millibar, the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa), the megapascal (1 MPa
= 1,000,000 Pa), and the gigapascal (1 GPa = 1,000,000,000 Pa).
The unit of measurement called standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as 101.325 k
Pa and approximates to the average pressure at sea-level at the latitude 45 N.[2]
Meteorological reports typically state atmospheric pressure in hectopascals.
The unit of measurement called atmosphere or standard atmosphere (atm) is 101325
Pa (101.325 kPa).[6] This value is often used as a reference pressure and speci
fied as such in some national and international standards, such as ISO 2787 (pne
umatic tools and compressors), ISO 2533 (aerospace) and ISO 5024 (petroleum). In
contrast, IUPAC recommends the use of 100 kPa as a standard pressure when repor
ting the properties of substances.[7]
The Unicode computer character set has dedicated symbols U+33A9 ? SQUARE PA and
U+33AA ? SQUARE KPA in the CJK Compatibility block, but these exist for backward
-compatibility with some older ideographic character-sets and are therefore depr
ecated.
