What is Pressure?
Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area: P = F / A. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (1 Pa = 1 N/m²). Practical applications use larger units: the bar (1 bar = 100,000 Pa, close to standard atmospheric pressure), atmosphere (atm) (1 atm = 101,325 Pa), and psi (pounds per square inch, used in the US for tire and gas pressures). Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury), also called torr.
What is Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter?
The metric ton-force per square centimeter (symbol: tf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by one metric ton-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. One metric ton-force is the force produced by a mass of 1,000 kilograms under standard gravity. This unit has been used in structural engineering, heavy machinery, and material testing, although SI units such as the pascal are now preferred. It is based on the ton-force.
One metric ton-force per square centimeter is equal to 98,066,500 pascals, 98.0665 megapascals, 980.665 bars, 14,223.3 pounds per square inch, and 1,000 kilogram-force per square centimeter. This unit is mainly encountered in heavy engineering and legacy specifications.
What is Gigapascal?
The gigapascal (symbol: GPa) is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to one billion (109) pascals. It is widely used in material science, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and geology to express very high pressures and the elastic modulus of materials. The gigapascal uses the SI prefix giga, representing a factor of one billion.
One gigapascal is equal to 1,000,000,000 pascals, 1,000 megapascals, 1,000,000 kilopascals, 10,000 bars, and 145,037.738 pounds per square inch. The gigapascal is the standard unit for reporting the strength and stiffness of engineering materials.
