Convert bars to megapascals
1 bar = 0.1 MPa — exactly. Both units are defined against the SI, so this factor is a fraction, not an approximation.
0.1MPa
As a fraction: 1/10
1 bar = 0.1 MPa
How to convert bars to megapascals
Multiply the number of bars by 0.1 to get megapascals.
The exact factor is 0.1 — as a fraction, 1/10.
Bar: Exactly 100 kPa. Close to atmospheric pressure, which is why it caught on.
