Convert Megapascals to Terapascals
Convert Megapascals (MPa) to Terapascals (TPa) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
TPa = MPa × 1.000000000e-6
About Megapascals
A megapascal (MPa) = 10⁶ Pa = 10 bar - standard unit for mechanical stress, material strength, and high-pressure engineering. Structural material yield strengths: mild steel 250-550 MPa; high-strength steel to 2,000 MPa; carbon fibre composites 1,500-7,000 MPa tensile. Hydraulic press pressures 50-200 MPa. Mariana Trench floor ~110 MPa. Concrete compressive strength: 25-40 MPa (normal); up to 150 MPa (high-performance). Water-jet cutting: 200-600 MPa. Elastic moduli in FEM analysis are in MPa or GPa. 1 MPa = 10⁶ Pa = 145.0 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.
