Dekapascal
The dekapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure equal to ten pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure representing one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The dekapascal was introduced as a metric prefix-based unit to simplify the expression of larger pressures, particularly in fields like meteorology and engineering, aligning with the SI system's prefixes. Its usage is relatively uncommon compared to the pascal.
Current Use
The dekapascal is occasionally used in scientific and technical contexts to express pressure measurements more conveniently, especially in applications where pressures are in the range of thousands of pascals. It is part of pressure conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
