What does terapascal measure?

Terapascal (TPa) quantifies extremely large pressures, used mainly in high-pressure physics, planetary interior models, and shock-compression experiments.

What is pound-force per square inch used for?

Pound-force per square inch (psi) is an imperial pressure unit commonly used in engineering, including tire pressures, hydraulic systems, and compressed gas measurements.

How is the conversion factor between TPa and psi defined?

One terapascal equals 145037737.73 pound-force per square inch, based on SI unit relationships with pascals.
