What is the relationship between gigapascal and newton per square millimeter?

One gigapascal equals one thousand newtons per square millimeter, making conversion straightforward by multiplying by 1000.

In which fields is this pressure conversion most useful?

The conversion is widely applied in materials science, mechanical and structural engineering, geophysics, and hydraulic system design.

Why use newton per square millimeter instead of gigapascal for certain measurements?

N/mm² is often preferred for practical engineering work due to its scale and relevance for material strength and stress calculations.
