Convert Megapascals to Bars (MPa to bar)
1 MPa = 10 bar. Convert megapascals to bars with the exact factor, a common-values table and a free converter.
Conversion factor
bar = MPa × 10
1 MPa = 10 bar
Multiply by 10 bar to go from megapascals to bars, 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.
MPa to bar table
| Megapascals (MPa) | Bars (bar) |
|---|---|
| 1 MPa | 10 bar |
| 2 MPa | 20 bar |
| 5 MPa | 50 bar |
| 10 MPa | 100 bar |
| 20 MPa | 200 bar |
| 50 MPa | 500 bar |
| 100 MPa | 1000 bar |
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 bars are in one megapascal?
One megapascal is 10 bar, so 100 MPa is 1000 bar.
What is the formula to convert megapascals to bars?
bar = MPa × 10. Multiply the value in megapascals by 10 to get bars.
How do I convert bars back to megapascals?
MPa = bar × 0.1, so 1 bar is 0.1 MPa. The bar to MPa page carries the same table in that direction.
