Discover the ease of converting gigapascals to newtons per square meter with our precise GPa to N/m² converter, designed by Newtum to simplify your calculations.
A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billion pascals. It is used to measure extremely high pressures, such as those found in material science and engineering. One gigapascal is equivalent to 10,000 atmospheres of pressure, illustrating its magnitude for intense applications.
Definition of NewtonA newton (N) is the SI unit of force named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. One newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. It is a crucial unit for understanding the fundamental principles of physics and engineering.
| Gigapascal (GPa) | Newton per square meter (N/m²) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 GPa | 10,000,000 N/m² |
| 0.05 GPa | 50,000,000 N/m² |
| 0.1 GPa | 100,000,000 N/m² |
| 0.2 GPa | 200,000,000 N/m² |
| 0.5 GPa | 500,000,000 N/m² |
| 1 GPa | 1,000,000,000 N/m² |
| 2 GPa | 2,000,000,000 N/m² |
| 5 GPa | 5,000,000,000 N/m² |
| 10 GPa | 10,000,000,000 N/m² |
| 20 GPa | 20,000,000,000 N/m² |
1 GPa = 1,000,000,000 N/m²
1 N/m² = 1e-9 GPa
Example 1:
Convert 0.02 GPa to N/m²:
0.02 GPa = 0.02 × 1,000,000,000 N/m² = 20,000,000 N/m²
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 GPa to N/m²:
0.5 GPa = 0.5 × 1,000,000,000 N/m² = 500,000,000 N/m²
The Gigapascal to Newton square Meter Converter is a modern tool that evolved from the need to translate high-pressure values into understandable units. Initially, conversions were done manually, but with technological advancements, such tools became essential for researchers and engineers dealing with material testing and high-pressure environments.
Explore the practicality of the GPa to N/m² converter and how it influences real-world applications across various industries.
Example 1:
Convert 0.03 GPa to N/m²:
0.03 GPa = 30,000,000 N/m²
Example 2:
Convert 1.5 GPa to N/m²:
1.5 GPa = 1,500,000,000 N/m²
