How to Convert MPa to Bar

1 MPa = 10 bar

Bar = MPa × 10

Example: 120 MPa × 10 = 1200 bar

Reverse Conversion

To convert bar back to MPa:

  • Remember, 1 bar equals 0.1 MPa.
  • To convert 1200 bar to MPa, multiply 1200 x 0.1, resulting in 120 MPa.

120 MPa is also equal to:

About these units

MPa: SI-derived pressure unit equal to 1,000,000 pascals (10⁶ Pa).
