How to Convert GPa to Pascal

1 GPa = 1 × 109 pascals

Pascal = GPa × 1 × 109

Example: 1242 GPa × 1 × 109 = 1.242 × 1012 Pa

Reverse Conversion

To convert pascals back to gigapascals:

  • Remember, 1 pascal equals 1 × 10-9 gigapascals.
  • To convert 1.242 × 1012 Pa to GPa, multiply 1.242 × 1012 x 1 × 10-9, resulting in 1242 GPa.

1242 GPa is also equal to:

  • 1.242 × 107 bar
  • 1.8014 × 108 psi
