megapascal to gigapascal
Please provide values below to convert megapascal [MPa] to gigapascal [GPa], or change ↔.
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!
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!

How to Convert megapascal to gigapascal
1 megapascal [MPa] = 1000 gigapascal [GPa]
1 gigapascal [GPa] = 0.001 megapascal [MPa]
we use cross multiplication method
megapascal [MPa] → gigapascal [GPa]
1 → 1000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1000=1*x
by simplifying
x=1500
