What are Gigapascal and Terapascal

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billion pascals. One gigapascal is equivalent to 1,000 megapascals or 1,000,000 kilopascals. It is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express the stiffness or tensile strength of materials.

A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one trillion pascals. It's a massive scale of pressure used in high-pressure physics and material science research. The terapascal is rarely encountered in everyday applications due to its extremely high value, often reserved for scientific studies involving the Earth's interior or the behavior of materials under extreme conditions.

History of Gigapascal and Terapascal

The concept of measuring pressure led to the development of various units, including the gigapascal and terapascal. Conversion between these units became crucial as scientists and engineers dealt with materials and conditions requiring precise calculations at a very high pressure scale.
