Illustration of steel beam yield strength
39,450 psi (272,000 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: 272 MPa × 10 = 2720 bar

Reverse Conversion

To convert bar back to MPa:

  • Remember, 1 bar equals 0.1 MPa.
  • To convert 2720 bar to MPa, multiply 2720 x 0.1, resulting in 272 MPa.

272 MPa is also equal to:

  • 2.72 × 108 pascal
  • 272000 kPa
  • 39450 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.
