Convert terapascal to gigapascal
Please provide values below to convert terapascal [TPa] to gigapascal [GPa], or Convert gigapascal to terapascal.
1 TPa = 1000 GPa. To convert terapascal to gigapascal, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GPa = 0.001 TPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 TPa = 1000 GPa
- 1 GPa = 0.001 TPa
- 10 TPa = 10000 GPa
- 100 TPa = 100000 GPa
How to Convert Terapascal to Gigapascal
1 TPa = 1000 GPa
Example: convert 15 TPa to GPa:
15 TPa = 15 × 1000 GPa = 15000 GPa

Terapascal
A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one trillion pascals (10^12 Pa).
History/Origin
The terapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure extremely high pressures, especially in scientific research involving materials under extreme conditions, such as in geophysics and high-energy physics.
Current Use
The terapascal is used in scientific fields to quantify very high pressures, such as in studying Earth's deep interior, material science, and high-pressure physics experiments.
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.
