Atmosphere (abbreviation: atm): is a unit of standard pressure, equal to 101325 Pa, or 1.01325 bar.
Megapascal (abbreviations: Mpa, or MN/m2, or N/mm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one meganewton per square meter or one newton per square millimeter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
How to Convert Atmospheres to Megapascals
Example: How many megapascals are equivalent to 40.77 Atmospheres?
As;
1 Atmospheres = 0.1013 megapascals
40.77 Atmospheres = Y megapascals
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 40.77 times 0.1013 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 40.77 * 0.1013 / 1 = 4.130001 megapascals
Answer is: 4.130001 megapascals are equivalent to 40.77 Atmospheres.
