Gigapascal to pascals Conversion
1 gigapascal (GPa) is equal to 1000000000 pascals (Pa).
1 GPa = 1000000000 Pa
or
1 Pa = 0.000000001 GPa
Formula
To convert a pressure from gigapascal (GPa) to pascals (Pa), multiply the pressure in gigapascal by 1000000000
p(Pa) = p(GPa) × 1000000000
Examples:
Convert 2 gigapascal to pascals:
p(Pa) = 2GPa × 1000000000 = 2000000000 Pa
