kPa = TPa × 1000000000
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.
About Kilopascals
A kilopascal (kPa) = 1,000 Pa - the practical everyday SI pressure unit for moderate pressures. Car tyre inflation: 200-250 kPa (29-36 psi); truck tyres 550-830 kPa. Blood pressure in SI countries: 16/10.7 kPa (= 120/80 mmHg). Systolic blood pressure 16 kPa. Carbonated beverages are packaged at 200-500 kPa CO₂. Medical oxygen cylinders at 15,000 kPa; scuba cylinders 200-300 bar = 20,000-30,000 kPa. 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa = 0.01 bar = 0.145 psi.
