gigapascal to megapascal
Please provide values below to convert gigapascal [GPa] to megapascal [MPa], or change ↔.
gigapascal [GPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to one billion pascals (1 GPa = 1,000,000,000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The gigapascal is used for extremely high-pressure applications, typically in material science and deep geological studies.
CurrentUse: Used in scientific research and engineering for measuring high-pressure environments, such as those found in deep-sea exploration or the manufacturing of advanced materials.
funfact: Diamonds have a hardness that can be measured in gigapascals!
megapascal [MPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to one million pascals (1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The megapascal is frequently used in high-pressure industries like engineering and material science.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in the testing of materials, particularly in the strength of metals and other structural components.
funfact: The strength of steel is often measured in megapascals!

How to Convert gigapascal to megapascal
1 gigapascal [GPa] = 0.001 megapascal [MPa]
1 megapascal [MPa] = 1000 gigapascal [GPa]
we use cross multiplication method
gigapascal [GPa] → megapascal [MPa]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
