What is a Gigapascal?

The Gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billion pascals. It is used in geophysics to measure pressures deep within the Earth.

What is a Megapascal?

The Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals. It is used in engineering to measure the strength of materials like concrete.

How to Convert Gigapascal to Megapascal

To convert Gigapascal to Megapascal, multiply the Gigapascal value by 1000.

MPa = GPa × 1000
