Convert Hectopascal to Gigapascal
Hectopascal
A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 100 pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). The hectopascal is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
The term "hectopascal" combines the SI prefix "hecto-", representing 100, and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to the study of pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "hecto-" comes from the Greek word ἑκατόν (hekatón), meaning "hundred." The hectopascal is widely used in meteorology and other scientific fields.
Gigapascal
A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 10⁹ pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). The gigapascal is used to measure very high pressures, such as those found in materials science and engineering, particularly in the study of the mechanical properties of materials.
The term "gigapascal" combines the SI prefix "giga-", representing 10⁹, and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to the study of pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "giga-" comes from the Greek word γίγας (gígas), meaning "giant," and was adopted in 1960 to denote 10⁹, or one billion. The gigapascal is commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts where pressures are extremely high.
