What is a newton per square millimeter?

It is a unit of pressure equal to one newton of force applied over an area of one square millimeter, commonly used in materials engineering.

How large is one petapascal?

One petapascal equals 10^15 pascals, representing extremely large pressures relevant in high-energy physics and astrophysical environments.

Why convert from N/mm² to PPa?

To translate typical mechanical stress pressures into very large-scale pressure units useful in scientific research fields like astrophysics and shock physics.
