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

Pa = MPa × 1000000

A megapascal equals one million pascals. Structural engineers specify concrete compressive strength in MPa (typical range: 20-40 MPa for buildings), while steel yield strength is 250 MPa or higher. The MPa unit appears in engineering codes, material specifications, and design calculations for bridges, buildings, and pressure vessels.
