What are Gigapascal and Atmosphere

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure within the International System of Units (SI) that equates to a billion pascals. One pascal is one newton per square meter, and thus one gigapascal signifies immense pressure applied over a small area. Gigapascals are commonly used in scientific contexts, especially materials science, where high pressure environments are simulated or measured.

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. This standard atmospheric pressure is set at 101,325 Pascals, or 1.01325 bar. It is a convenient reference for gauging the pressure of gases and vapors in various scientific and industrial contexts, as it approximates the pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere at sea level.

History of Gigapascal and Atmosphere

The Gigapascal to Atmosphere Technical Converter has roots in the need to relate the high-pressure measurements in scientific research to the more tangible and historical unit of atmospheres, which was once the standard for pressure measurements before the introduction of the SI system.
