What does one gigapascal represent?

One gigapascal (GPa) is a pressure unit equivalent to one billion pascals and is used to measure very high pressures and mechanical stresses.

Why convert gigapascal to torr?

Converting GPa to Torr helps translate high-pressure values into a unit used for low pressures and vacuum systems, aiding cross-disciplinary understanding and instrument calibration.

Is torr suitable for measuring high pressures?

Torr is generally used for low-pressure and vacuum measurements and is not suited for very high pressure values like those expressed in gigapascals.
