Discover the precision of converting pressure units from millibar to gigapascal with our user-friendly tool. Get accurate results instantly!
A millibar is a unit of pressure in the metric system equivalent to one-thousandth of a bar. The bar is a non-SI unit accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) that is defined as exactly 100,000 pascals. Thus, one millibar is equal to 100 pascals. The millibar is commonly used in meteorology to report atmospheric pressures.
Definition of GigapascalA gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure within the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to one billion pascals. Pascals are the standard unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. The gigapascal is typically used in scientific contexts for measuring extremely high pressures, such as those within the Earth's interior or in materials science.
| Millibar (mbar) | Gigapascal (GPa) |
|---|---|
| 1000 mbar | 0.1 GPa |
| 2000 mbar | 0.2 GPa |
| 3000 mbar | 0.3 GPa |
| 4000 mbar | 0.4 GPa |
| 5000 mbar | 0.5 GPa |
| 6000 mbar | 0.6 GPa |
| 7000 mbar | 0.7 GPa |
| 8000 mbar | 0.8 Gpa |
| 9000 mbar | 0.9 GPa |
| 10000 mbar | 1 GPa |
Example 1:
Convert 1000 mbar to GPa:
1000 mbar = 1000 × 0.0001 GPa = 0.1 GPa
Example 2:
Convert 500 mbar to GPa:
500 mbar = 500 × 0.0001 GPa = 0.05 GPa
