Description

Gigapascal (GPa): Measuring Extreme Pressures

The Gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billion Pascals. It is primarily used in scientific research to measure extremely high pressures, such as those encountered in the Earth's interior or during high-pressure material synthesis. For instance, diamond anvil cells can generate pressures in the GPa range to study material behavior under extreme conditions.

Understanding the Pascal (Pa)

The Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal. It is defined as one newton per square meter, representing the pressure exerted by a force of one newton acting uniformly over an area of one square meter. The Pascal is widely used in various scientific and engineering applications to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and tensile strength.
