What are Gigapascal and Centipascal

Definition of Gigapascal

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one billion pascals. One gigapascal represents a substantial amount of pressure and is often used in scientific contexts to measure or describe the internal pressure within materials or geological formations.

Definition of Centipascal

A centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure that is rarely used, as it represents a very small amount of pressure. One centipascal is equivalent to one hundredth of a pascal, the standard unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). Due to its small value, cPa is more common in theoretical calculations than practical measurements.
