Convert terapascal to dyne/square centimeter
Enter a value below to convert terapascal [TPa] to dyne/square centimeter [dyn/cm^2]. Reverse conversion: Convert dyne/square centimeter to terapascal.
1 TPa = 1.0000e+13 dyn/cm^2. To convert terapascal to dyne/square centimeter, multiply the value by 1.0000e+13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dyn/cm^2 = 1.0000e-13 TPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Terapascal to Dyne/square Centimeter: Quick Reference
- 1 TPa = 1.0000e+13 dyn/cm^2
- 1 dyn/cm^2 = 1.0000e-13 TPa

Terapascal: Definition and Use
A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one trillion pascals (10^12 Pa).
History/Origin
The terapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure extremely high pressures, especially in scientific research involving materials under extreme conditions, such as in geophysics and high-energy physics.
Current Use
The terapascal is used in scientific fields to quantify very high pressures, such as in studying Earth's deep interior, material science, and high-pressure physics experiments.
Dyne/square Centimeter: Definition and Use
A dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one dyne applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, introduced in the 19th century. The dyn/cm^2 has been used primarily in physics and engineering to measure pressure in CGS units before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the dyn/cm^2 is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts; pressure is more commonly expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. However, it remains relevant in certain fields like astrophysics and plasma physics where CGS units are still employed.
