What is pressure Pressure is a physical quantity that represents the force perpendicular to the surface of an object and distributed on a unit area of that object. Pressure is the size of M · L-1 · T-2. The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa), which is equal to one Newton (N/m2, or kilogram · m-1 · s-2) per square meter Other commonly used units besides Pascal include: 1 hPa=100 Pa, 1 kPa=1000 Pa, 1 megapascal (MPa)=1,000,000Pa, 1 Gigapascal (GPa)=1000,000,000 Pa. Pa is a metric unit of pressure. It is defined as exactly equal to 100000 Pa (100 kPa), or slightly lower than the current average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth (approximately 1.013 bar).
