What are Bar and Gigapascal

Definition of Bar

The bar is a unit of pressure defined as 100 kilopascals. It is about equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. While not a part of the International System of Units (SI), the bar is still widely used in meteorology, oceanography, and geology.

Definition of Gigapascal

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billion pascals. It is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express the stiffness of materials. One GPa represents significant pressure applied over a surface area.
