Illustration of a hydraulic press
4,032 psi (27,800 kPa) is comparable to the operating pressure of a hydraulic press.

Did you know? Concrete compressive strength is 30,000 kPa.

Typical structural concrete has a compressive strength of 20-40 MPa (20,000-40,000 kPa).

How to Convert Bar to MPa

1 bar = 0.1 MPa

MPa = Bar × 0.1

Example: 278 bar × 0.1 = 27.8 MPa

Reverse Conversion

To convert MPa back to bar:

  • Remember, 1 MPa equals 10 bar.
  • To convert 27.8 MPa to bar, multiply 27.8 x 10, resulting in 278 bar.

278 bar is also equal to:

  • 2.78 × 107 pascal
  • 27800 kPa
  • 4032 psi
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).
