Unit Information

Megapascal (MPa)

Definition

The megapascal (symbol: MPa) is a decimal multiple of the pascal. One MPa is equal to 1,000,000 pascals.

Current Use

The megapascal is commonly used in engineering and materials science to measure high pressures, such as structural stresses or the strength of materials like concrete and steel.

Bar (bar)

Definition

The bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

Current Use

The bar and the millibar are used in meteorology, engineering, and in various industries to measure atmospheric pressure and fluid pressure.
