Please provide values below to convert terapascal [TPa] to millipascal [mPa], or Convert millipascal to terapascal.
How to Convert Terapascal to Millipascal
1 TPa = 1e+15 mPa
Example: convert 15 TPa to mPa:
15 TPa = 15 × 1e+15 mPa = 1.5e+16 mPa

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.
Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
