Convert Standard atmosphere to terapascal
Please provide values below to convert Standard atmosphere [atm] to terapascal [TPa], or Convert terapascal to Standard atmosphere.
How to Convert Standard Atmosphere to Terapascal
1 atm = 1.01325e-07 TPa
Example: convert 15 atm to TPa:
15 atm = 15 × 1.01325e-07 TPa = 1.519875e-06 TPa

Standard Atmosphere
The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The standard atmosphere was established in the early 20th century to provide a consistent reference for pressure measurements, based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions.
Current Use
The atm is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, aviation, and engineering to express pressure, especially in contexts involving gases and atmospheric conditions.
Terapascal
A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one trillion pascals (10^12 Pa).
History/Origin
The terapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure extremely high pressures, especially in scientific research involving materials under extreme conditions, such as in geophysics and high-energy physics.
Current Use
The terapascal is used in scientific fields to quantify very high pressures, such as in studying Earth's deep interior, material science, and high-pressure physics experiments.
