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.

The Megapascal (MPa) in Engineering

The Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one million Pascals. It is extensively used in engineering fields to measure high pressures, such as those found in hydraulic systems, material strength testing, and geotechnical engineering. For example, the tensile strength of structural steel is often expressed in MPa. This unit allows for the convenient representation of large pressure values without resorting to scientific notation.
