What are Terapascal and Gigapascal

A Terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one trillion pascals. One terapascal represents immense pressure, typically found in the fields of materials science and geophysics. This unit measures the force exerted over an area of one square meter by one trillion newtons, showcasing extreme conditions which are not commonly encountered in everyday life.

A Gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure or stress within the metric system, representing one billion pascals. It is a significant unit in material science, where the strength of materials, especially high-performance composites and metals, is measured. One gigapascal equals 1,000 megapascals or 1,000,000 kilopascals, indicating a substantial amount of force applied over a square meter area.
