Megapascal (MPa) To psi (Pound force per square inch) Conversion

So you want to know how many megapascals in a psi ?

Megapascal (MPa) is a metric pressure unit and equals to 1 000 000 force of newton per square meter which is know as a Pascal. 1 MPa equals to 10 Bar. Because of its high pressure ratings is often used in hydraulic and simular systems.

Use if you want to Convert pound/square inch to megapascal
Use if you are between two points.
Or Use for absolute pressure, if measuring psia

Megapascal - a unit to measure heavy pressure

Megapascal is the mega unit used to measure the intensity of pressure which means force per unit area. The term pascal has been derived from the Blaise Pascal. One unit of megapascal is equal to 1,000,000 pascal units. Megapascal is generally used to measure the pressure of heavy machines such as hydraulic system. Since the pressure of these machines can't be measured in pascals hence megapascals is used to describe the heavy pressures.

Megapascal can easily be converted in other unit of pressure. It is the international system of unit used for the measurement of pressure. The unit is used to measure the strength of various objects. It helps us to understand the requirement of the force for the completion of the work. Though MPa is majorly used is used in many countries however there are also places which uses psi which stands for pound per square inch. The value of 2500 psi is equal to the value of 18MPa which means 2500x0.0068915. Learn how to Convert MPA to psi

MPa is mostly used in construction industry to understand the required MPa for the construction of a building which depends on the load and the weight of the building. The term mega used in Megapascal stands for one million pascal unit. Whereas psi, another most used unit of pressure is taken from avoirdupois unit which is similar to 6894.757 pacal unit. Though both unit of pressure are relevant for measurement the intensity of force. However these units defines the heavy pressure exerted by an object on another and hence is mostly used for industrial purpose.

Megapascal can be converted to various other units of pressure as per the requirement of an individual. The pressure exerted by big and heavy machines are either measured in the unit of megapascal or psi. Both the units are a good way of understanding the pressure and its effect on an object.
