Convert exapascal to newton/square meter
Please provide values below to convert exapascal [EPa] to newton/square meter [N/m^2], or Convert newton/square meter to exapascal.
How to Convert Exapascal to Newton/square Meter
1 EPa = 1e+18 N/m^2
Example: convert 15 EPa to N/m^2:
15 EPa = 15 × 1e+18 N/m^2 = 1.5e+19 N/m^2

Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
Newton/square Meter
The newton per square meter (N/m²) is the SI derived unit of pressure, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, replacing earlier units like the pascal, which is now the standard SI unit for pressure.
Current Use
N/m², or pascals (Pa), is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, stress, and related quantities.
