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 = Pa ÷ 1000000

A megapascal is one million pascals — used for high-pressure applications like hydraulic systems, concrete strength (1 MPa ≈ 145 psi), and geotechnical engineering. Structural engineers specify concrete strength in MPa, and materials testing reports use MPa for yield strength and ultimate tensile strength.
