Convert Bars to Megapascals (bar to MPa)
1 bar = 0.1 MPa. Convert bars to megapascals with the exact factor, a common-values table and a free converter.
Conversion factor
MPa = bar × 0.1
1 bar = 0.1 MPa
Multiply by 0.1 MPa to go from bars to megapascals, or divide by it to come back. The factor and every value below are computed by the same converter that runs at /convert, so this page and the tool cannot disagree.
bar to MPa table
| Bars (bar) | Megapascals (MPa) |
|---|---|
| 1 bar | 0.1 MPa |
| 2 bar | 0.2 MPa |
| 5 bar | 0.5 MPa |
| 10 bar | 1 MPa |
| 20 bar | 2 MPa |
| 50 bar | 5 MPa |
| 100 bar | 10 MPa |
Every figure is computed at build time by the site’s own converter from the pressure unit registry. For a value that is not listed, put it into the interactive converter.
Frequently asked questions
How many megapascals are in one bar?
One bar is 0.1 MPa, so 100 bar is 10 MPa.
What is the formula to convert bars to megapascals?
MPa = bar × 0.1. Multiply the value in bars by 0.1 to get megapascals.
How do I convert megapascals back to bars?
bar = MPa × 10, so 1 MPa is 10 bar. The MPa to bar page carries the same table in that direction.
