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