What is a terapascal used for?

A terapascal is used to measure extremely high pressures encountered in fields like high-pressure physics, planetary science, and shock-compression experiments.

How does newton per square millimeter relate to pascals?

One newton per square millimeter equals one megapascal, which corresponds to one million pascals.

Why convert from terapascal to newton per square millimeter?

Converting allows expressing ultra-high pressures in units more common in materials engineering and structural analysis, aiding interpretation and comparison.
