What are Gigapascal and Atmosphere

Definition of Gigapascal

A Gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system equal to one billion pascals. One pascal is defined as one newton per square meter. The Gigapascal is an extremely high-pressure unit that is often used in scientific research and industrial fields to measure internal pressures, tensile strengths, and material rigidity among other applications. Its high-value range makes it suitable for dealing with pressures encountered in the earth's crust or materials science.

Definition of Atmosphere

The atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by the weight of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level. Originally, it was a unit of mean air pressure at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, equivalent to 101,325 pascals, 760 millimeters of mercury, or 29.92 inches of mercury. The atmosphere is commonly used in meteorology and for air pressure measurements in various applications. It provides a reference for establishing the pressure of gases and liquids in different contexts.
