Petapascal
A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^15 pascals.
History/Origin
The petapascal was introduced as part of the SI prefix system to represent extremely high pressures, mainly in scientific and industrial contexts, as the need to measure such large values arose with advancements in high-pressure physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
Petapascal is used in fields such as astrophysics, geophysics, and high-pressure physics to quantify extremely high pressures, such as those found in planetary interiors or during high-energy experiments.
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.
