What are Petapascal and Inch Mercury

A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to one quadrillion (10^15) pascals. Pascals are the SI units for pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. Petapascal is an extremely high-pressure measurement, typically used in scientific research to signify forces on a macroscopic scale, such as geological or astrophysical processes.

Inch of Mercury (inHg) is a non-SI unit for pressure. It is used mainly in the United States and partly in Canada. The unit is derived from the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at the Earth's surface. At 0°C (32°F), one inch of mercury is approximately equal to 3,386.389 pascals. It is commonly used in aviation and meteorology for barometric readings.
