Convert Bars to Terapascals
Convert Bars (bar) to Terapascals (TPa) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
TPa = bar × 1.000000000e-7
About Bars
A bar = exactly 100,000 Pa ≈ 0.987 atm - the world standard for industrial pressure outside North America. Hydraulic systems, pneumatic equipment, gas cylinders, dive computers, and tyre gauges in Europe and Asia use bar. Scuba diving: +1 bar per 10 m depth; at 40 m recreational limit = 5 bar absolute. European tyre pressure labels show bar alongside kPa. Industrial processes: steam at 10-50 bar; high-pressure reactors 100-300 bar; water-jet cutting 1,000-4,000 bar. 1 bar = 100,000 Pa = 14.504 psi.
About Terapascals
A terapascal (TPa) = 10¹² Pa = 10 Mbar - pressures in giant planet cores and at the frontier of high-energy-density physics. Jupiter's centre: ~40-70 TPa; Saturn's: ~10 TPa. Earth's inner core: ~0.35 TPa; core-mantle boundary: ~0.14 TPa. Laser-driven ramp and shock compression at NIF approaches TPa regimes for fusion implosion capsule research. Hydrogen is predicted to become a superconducting metal at ~0.5-5 TPa. Understanding TPa equations of state is critical for modelling exoplanet interiors. 1 TPa = 10¹² Pa.
