1 Bar = 0.1 Megapascal

Key Formulas

Pound per Sq. Inch → Bar

bar = psi × 0.0689476

Bar → Pound per Sq. Inch

psi = bar × 14.5038

Atmosphere → Pound per Sq. Inch

psi = atm × 14.6959

Pound per Sq. Inch → Atmosphere

atm = psi × 0.068046

Formula

MPa = bar × 0.1

One bar equals 100,000 pascals, which equals 0.1 megapascals. This simple conversion (divide by 10) appears in high-pressure industrial applications like hydraulic systems, oil and gas, and material testing.
