What are Petapascal and Centipascal

Definition of Petapascal

A Petapascal, symbolized as PPa, is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10^15 pascals. It represents a very high pressure value, often used in scientific research to quantify extreme conditions, like the pressure within the Earth's core or in certain industrial processes.

Definition of Centipascal

A Centipascal, denoted as cPa, is a metric unit of pressure that is one hundredth of a Pascal. It is a small unit that is commonly used in fields where precise pressure measurements are required, such as in the calibration of sensitive instruments or in microfluidics.

Petapascal to Centipascal Conversion Table

Petapascal (PPa) Centipascal (cPa)
0.01 PPa 1.0E+13 cPa
0.1 PPa 1.0E+14 cPa
1 PPa 1.0E+15 cPa
2 PPa 2.0E+15 cPa
3 PPa 3.0E+15 cPa
5 PPa 5.0E+15 cPa
10 PPa 1.0E+16 cPa
20 PPa 2.0E+16 cPa
50 PPa 5.0E+16 cPa
100 PPa 1.0E+17 cPa

Conversion of Petapascal to Centipascal

1 PPa = 1.0E+17 cPa
1 cPa = 1.0E-17 PPa

Example 1:
convert 0.02 PPa to cPa:
0.02 PPa = 0.02 × 1.0E+17 cPa = 2.0E+15 cPa

Example 2:
convert 0.05 PPa to cPa:
0.05 PPa = 0.05 × 1.0E+17 cPa = 5.0E+15 cPa

History of Petapascal and Centipascal

The concept of converting Petapascals to Centipascals, while not common in everyday applications, emerged as scientists and engineers needed to express extreme pressures in more comprehensible units for various calculations and comparisons in scientific research and industrial contexts.
