Convert gigapascal to exapascal
Please provide values below to convert gigapascal [GPa] to exapascal [EPa], or Convert exapascal to gigapascal.
1 GPa = 1e-09 EPa. To convert gigapascal to exapascal, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EPa = 1000000000 GPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 GPa = 1e-09 EPa
- 1 EPa = 1000000000 GPa
- 10 GPa = 1e-08 EPa
- 100 GPa = 1e-07 EPa
How to Convert Gigapascal to Exapascal
1 GPa = 1e-09 EPa
Example: convert 15 GPa to EPa:
15 GPa = 15 × 1e-09 EPa = 1.5e-08 EPa

Gigapascal
A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billion pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the force of one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The gigapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure high-pressure phenomena, especially in materials science and geophysics, as a larger unit than the pascal for convenience.
Current Use
GPa is commonly used to quantify stress, pressure in geological formations, material strength, and high-pressure physics applications.
Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 gigapascal in exapascal?
1 gigapascal (GPa) = 1e-09 exapascal (EPa).
How do you convert gigapascal to exapascal?
Multiply the gigapascal value by 1e-09. For example, 25 GPa × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 EPa.
What is 10 gigapascal in exapascal?
10 GPa = 1e-08 EPa.
Which unit is larger, the gigapascal or the exapascal?
The exapascal is the larger unit: 1 GPa equals only 1e-09 EPa.
