![Turbolasers the size of Iowa battleships! (canon)
The heaviest turbolaser turrets on an Imperial star destroyer MKI (Imperator) are fifty meters in diameter and easily an order of magnitude larger than the [real world] turrets mounted on the US Iowa battleships, which carried 16 inch (cal) guns.
Considering the Imperators turbolasers sheer size they must each weigh more than ten thousands metric tons. Because they are both an order of magnitude larger and several orders of magnitude more advanced than Iowas cannons, they must also be many* orders of magnitude more effective within their optimum range (i.e capable of megaton+ yields).

Note the Iowas guns could blast an area of thousands of square meters with a single explosive shell. The guns could also fire special low yield nuclear devices known as Katie shells with a yield of ~20 kilotons (several orders of magnitude more energetic than the standard shells which had a sub kiloton yield).

The ISD turret is similarly voluminous overall to the Iowa battleship.
