megapascal to bar
Please provide values below to convert megapascal [MPa] to bar, or change ↔.
megapascal [MPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to one million pascals (1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The megapascal is frequently used in high-pressure industries like engineering and material science.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in the testing of materials, particularly in the strength of metals and other structural components.
funfact: The strength of steel is often measured in megapascals!
bar
Definition: A metric unit of pressure, equal to 100,000 pascals or 100 kilopascals.
Historyandorigin: The bar was introduced as a convenient way to measure pressure in the early 20th century, particularly in meteorology.
CurrentUse: Widely used in meteorology, oceanography, and in the measurement of pressure in natural gas pipelines.
funfact: The bar is close to atmospheric pressure at sea level, but it is not an SI unit!

How to Convert megapascal to bar
1 megapascal [MPa] = 0.1 bar
1 bar = 10 megapascal [MPa]
we use cross multiplication method
megapascal [MPa] → bar
1 → 0.1
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.1=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.15
