What is a Bar?

The Bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). One bar is exactly equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly atmospheric pressure at sea level.

What is a Megapascal?

The Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals. It is used in engineering to measure the strength of materials like concrete.

How to Convert Bar to Megapascal

To convert Bar to Megapascal, divide the Bar value by 10.

MPa = bar ÷ 10

Manual Calculation Steps
