What is a petapascal used for?

A petapascal measures extremely large pressures and is used in high-energy-density physics, astrophysics, and shock-physics research.

How does the petapascal relate to the exapascal?

One petapascal equals 0.001 exapascal, making the exapascal suitable for expressing even larger pressure scales.

Can this conversion be used for everyday pressure measurements?

No, both units measure extraordinarily high pressures not encountered in daily or typical industrial environments.
