What are Gigapascal and Newton per square millimeter

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billion pascals. One pascal is one newton per square meter. Therefore, a gigapascal represents a substantial amount of pressure often used in scientific contexts to measure stiffness, tensile strength, or material resistance.

Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a derived SI unit of pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength. It is a measure of force exerted on a one square millimeter area. One N/mm² equals one million pascals, making it a convenient unit for high-stress materials in engineering and materials science.

History of Gigapascal and Newton per square millimeter

The concept of converting gigapascals to newtons per square millimeter stems from the need to apply standardized pressure units in science and engineering. Over time, this conversion has become vital in material science and industrial applications where precise stress measurements are critical.
