Orders of magnitude (pressure)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| Pressure | Item |
|---|---|
| 20 µPa | Threshold of human hearing. Air pressure oscillations of this amplitude, at frequencies between 1 and 5 kHz, are the smallest the ear can hear in a noiseless environment. |
| 0.5 Pa | Atmospheric pressure on Pluto (1988 figure; very roughly). |
| 1 Pa | Pressure exerted by a house fly standing on a postage stamp in vacuum (roughly). |
| 10 Pa | Pressure increase per millimeter of a water column (roughly).1 |
| 100 Pa | Threshold of pain. Sounds above this amplitude are unbearable and can cause ear pain.
Prolonged exposure may lead to hearing loss. |
| 1 kPa | Atmospheric pressure on Mars; 1 % of atmospheric sea-level pressure on Earth. |
| 10 kPa | Pressure increase per meter of a water column1, or the drop in air pressure when going from earth sea level to 1000 m elevation. |
| 101.325 kPa | Standard atmospheric pressure for earth sea level = 1013.25 hPa. |
| 180 to 250 kPa | Pressure in an automobile tire. |
| 0.8 to 2 MPa | Pressure used in boilers of steam locomotives. |
| 9 MPa | Atmospheric pressure on Venus |
| 10 MPa | Pressure washers force out water at this pressure. |
| 12 MPa | Pressure exerted by a 60kg woman wearing stilettos. |
| 20 MPa | Pressure of a typical aluminium scuba tank. |
| 100 MPa | Pressure at bottom of Mariana Trench, about 10 km below ocean surface. |
| 10 GPa | Pressure at which diamond forms. |
| 100 GPa | Theoretical tensile strength of a carbon nanotube (CNT). |
| 530 TPa | Pressure inside an Ivy Mike-like nuclear bomb |
| 6.4 PPa | Pressure inside a W80 warhead detonation |
| 35 PPa | Pressure inside the core of the Sun |
| 4.63 × 10113 Pa | The Planck pressure |
