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.
Bar (abbreviation: bar): is a metric (still not approved by the International System of Units, SI) unit of pressure. It is exactly equal to 100,000 Pa and slightly lower than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth, at sea level.
How to Convert Megapascals to Bars
Example: How many Bars are equivalent to 27.8 megapascals?
As;
1 megapascals = 10 Bars
27.8 megapascals = Y Bars
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 27.8 times 10 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 27.8 * 10 / 1 = 278 Bars
Answer is: 278 Bars are equivalent to 27.8 megapascals.
