Use this page to convert megapascal values into bar, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

1 MPa = 10 bar

1 bar = 0.1 MPa

Example: 35 MPa = 350 bar

Megapascal (MPa) is represented in this converter as 1000000 pascals.

History: Megapascal follows SI prefix conventions for scaling the pascal up or down by powers of ten.

Current use: Megapascal is useful in science, engineering, meteorology, and technical pressure specifications.

Also written as MPa.

A bar equals 100,000 pascals.

History: It was created as a practical pressure unit for engineering.

Current use: Bar is used in compressors, pumps, and diving.

Also written as bar, bars.
