パスカル (pascal, Pa) は、国際単位系 (SI) の圧力・応力の単位である。その名前は、圧力に関する「パスカルの原理」に名を残すブレーズ・パスカルに因む。
1パスカルは、1平方メートル (m2) の面積につき1ニュートン (N) の力が作用する圧力または応力と定義されている。
他の単位との換算は以下のようになる。
気象学(天気予報や天気図など)では、世界中で長い間にわたって気圧をミリバールで測定していた。SIが導入された後も、慣習的な圧力の数値がそのまま使われることが希望された。そのため気象学では、今日ではミリバールと同じ値になるヘクトパスカル (hPa) を使用している。日本においては、1992年12月1日からミリバールがヘクトパスカルに置き換えられた。
他の分野では1気圧程度の圧力ならば、キロパスカル (kPa) が使用されている。日本では1999年10月以降、パスカルへの移行が行われた。工学的には今まで使われていた 1 kgf/cm2 = 98.0665 kPa で換算しているが、自動車のタイヤの空気圧など一般向けには、1 kgf/cm2 = 100 kPa で換算している場合が多い。
なお、旧ソ連で使用されていたメートル・トン・秒単位系において使用されていた圧力の単位ピエーズは、1キロパスカルに等しい。

The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is defined as one newton per square metre.[1] It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa) which is 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 kPa and approximates to the average pressure at sea-level at 45° N.[2] Meteorological reports typically state atmospheric pressure in hectopascals.[3]
The unit is named after Blaise Pascal, noted for his contributions to hydrodynamics and hydrostatics, and experiments with a barometer. The name pascal was adopted for the SI unit newton per square metre (N/m2) by the 14th General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1971.[4]
The pascal can be expressed using SI derived units, or alternatively solely SI base units, as:
where N is the newton, m is the metre, kg is the kilogram, and s is the second.[5]
One pascal is the pressure exerted by a force of magnitude one newton perpendicularly upon an area of one square metre.
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 specified as such in some national and international standards, such as ISO 2787 (pneumatic tools and compressors), ISO 2533 (aerospace) and ISO 5024 (petroleum). In contrast, IUPAC recommends the use of 100 kPa as a standard pressure when reporting 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 deprecated.[8][9]

The pascal (Pa) or kilopascal (kPa) as a unit of pressure measurement is widely used throughout the world and has largely replaced the pounds per square inch (psi) unit, except in some countries that still use the Imperial measurement system, including the United States.
Geophysicists use the gigapascal (GPa) in measuring or calculating tectonic stresses and pressures within the Earth.
Medical elastography measures tissue stiffness non-invasively with ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging, and often displays the Young's modulus or shear modulus of tissue in kilopascals.
In materials science and engineering, the pascal measures the stiffness, tensile strength and compressive strength of materials. In engineering use, because the pascal represents a very small quantity, the megapascal (MPa) is the preferred unit for these uses.
Material | Young's modulus |
---|---|
nylon 6 | 2–4 GPa |
hemp fibre | 35 GPa |
aluminium | 69 GPa |
tooth enamel | 83 GPa |
copper | 117 GPa |
structural steel | 200 GPa |
diamond | 1220 GPa |
The pascal is also equivalent to the SI unit of energy density, J/m3. This applies not only to the thermodynamics of pressurised gases, but also to the energy density of electric, magnetic, and gravitational fields.
In measurements of sound pressure, or loudness of sound, one pascal is equal to 94 decibels SPL. The quietest sound a human can hear, known as the threshold of hearing, is 0 dB SPL, or 20 µPa.
The airtightness of buildings is measured at 50 Pa.[11]
The units of atmospheric pressure commonly used in meteorology were formerly the bar, which was close to the average air pressure on Earth, and the millibar. Since the introduction of SI units, meteorologists generally measure pressures in hectopascals (hPa) unit, equal to 100 pascals or 1 millibar.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Exceptions include Canada and Portugal, which uses kilopascals (kPa). In many other fields of science, the SI is preferred, which means Pa with a prefix (in multiples of 3) is preferred.[19][20]
Many countries also use the millibar or hectopascal to give aviation altimeter settings. In practically all other fields, the kilopascal (1000 pascals) is used instead.[citation needed]
