1 Megapascal = 10 Bar
Key Formulas
Pound per Sq. Inch → Bar
bar = psi × 0.0689476Bar → Pound per Sq. Inch
psi = bar × 14.5038Atmosphere → Pound per Sq. Inch
psi = atm × 14.6959Pound per Sq. Inch → Atmosphere
atm = psi × 0.068046Formula
bar = MPa × 10A megapascal equals 10 bars — since 1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa and 1 bar = 100,000 Pa, then 1,000,000 ÷ 100,000 = 10. Hydraulic systems, pressure vessels, and European industrial equipment often specify pressure in bar. 10 MPa ≈ 1450 psi.
