Unit conversions
0.216 GPa (gigapascals)
2.16×10^8 Pa (pascals)
2.16×10^8 N/m^2 (newtons per square meter)
2130 atm (atmospheres) (unit officially deprecated)
31300 psi (pounds-force per square inch)
Comparison as tensile strength
≈ ( 0.002 ≈ 1/460 ) × theoretical tensile strength of a carbon nanotube ( ≈ 100 GPa )
Hardness comparisons
harder than gypsum (Mohs 2)
softer than calcite (Mohs 3)
