What does microbar (µbar) measure?

Microbar is a pressure unit used to express very low pressures such as those in vacuum systems or weak atmospheric fluctuations.

For what purposes is terapascal (TPa) used?

Terapascal measures extremely high pressures, often in high-pressure physics, planetary interior models, or shock compression experiments.

Why is converting between microbar and terapascal useful?

It helps relate very small pressure measurements to extremely large pressures across scientific disciplines, supporting cross-comparison and theoretical modeling.
