About these measurements
Pressure is force per unit of area.
The base reference used here is the pascal. One pound-force per square inch is 6,894.757293 base units; one terapascal is 1e+12 base units.
Important distinctions
Gauge and absolute pressures must not be mixed. This converts units without changing the reference pressure.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
