How to Convert Bar to MPa

1 bar = 0.1 MPa

MPa = Bar × 0.1

Example: 120 bar × 0.1 = 12 MPa

Reverse Conversion

To convert MPa back to bar:

  • Remember, 1 MPa equals 10 bar.
  • To convert 12 MPa to bar, multiply 12 x 10, resulting in 120 bar.

120 bar is also equal to:

About these units

Bar: Metric pressure unit equal to exactly 100,000 pascals.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
