Illustration of steel beam yield strength
35,099 psi (242,000 kPa) is comparable to the yield strength of structural steel.

Did you know? Steel yield strength is 250,000 kPa.

Mild structural steel (A36) yields at about 250 MPa (250,000 kPa / 36,000 psi).

How to Convert MPa to Bar

1 MPa = 10 bar

Bar = MPa × 10

Example: 242 MPa × 10 = 2420 bar

Reverse Conversion

To convert bar back to MPa:

  • Remember, 1 bar equals 0.1 MPa.
  • To convert 2420 bar to MPa, multiply 2420 x 0.1, resulting in 242 MPa.

242 MPa is also equal to:

  • 2.42 × 108 pascal
  • 242000 kPa
  • 35099 psi
About these units

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

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