What is a terapascal used for?

A terapascal quantifies extremely large pressures encountered in scientific fields such as high-pressure physics, shock compression, and planetary interior modeling.

Why convert from terapascal to centimeter water?

Users convert to translate very high pressures into units meaningful for measuring small pressure differences in medical and laboratory contexts.

Is centimeter water a standard unit of pressure?

Centimeter water (4°C) is a non-SI unit commonly used to express small pressures and differences, especially in medical and laboratory measurements.
