Definition of MPa

Megapascal: High-Pressure Applications

The megapascal (MPa) is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to 1,000,000 pascals (1,000 kPa or 10 bar). It is commonly used in engineering and materials science for measuring high pressures, such as the tensile strength of materials, hydraulic system pressures, and geological pressures. The megapascal provides convenient numbers when dealing with pressures that would be unwieldy in pascals or kilopascals.

Conversions to Other Units of Measurement:

  1. Bar: 1 megapascal equals exactly 10 bar. This simple relationship makes MPa convenient for high-pressure industrial work. For example, 20 MPa equals 200 bar.
  2. PSI: 1 megapascal equals approximately 145.038 psi. This conversion is essential for engineering specifications. For example, a steel with 250 MPa yield strength equals approximately 36,260 psi.
  3. Kilopascal (kPa): 1 megapascal equals exactly 1,000 kPa. For example, 5 MPa equals 5,000 kPa.
  4. Pascal (Pa): 1 megapascal equals exactly 1,000,000 pascals. This is the fundamental SI relationship.
  5. Atmosphere (atm): 1 megapascal equals approximately 9.86923 atm. This shows that MPa represents significantly higher pressures than atmospheric.

The megapascal is essential in structural engineering, material science, and any application involving high pressures.

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

Common equivalents
  • 1 MPa = 1,000 kPa (exact)
  • 1 MPa ≈ 145.038 psi

Definition of Torr

Torr: The Vacuum Technologist's Unit

The torr is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli, inventor of the barometer. One torr is defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (101,325/760 Pa ≈ 133.322 Pa). The torr is widely used in vacuum technology, physics laboratories, and high-vacuum applications where precise low-pressure measurements are needed.

Conversions to Other Units of Measurement:

  1. Atmosphere (atm): 1 torr equals exactly 1/760 atm. By definition, 760 torr equals exactly 1 standard atmosphere.
  2. Pascal (Pa): 1 torr equals approximately 133.322 pascals. This converts vacuum readings to SI units.
  3. Millibar (mbar): 1 torr equals approximately 1.33322 mbar. This conversion is useful for relating vacuum levels to atmospheric measurements.
  4. Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg): 1 torr is very close to 1 mmHg (they differ by about 0.000015%). For practical purposes, they are often used interchangeably.
  5. Micron (μm Hg or mTorr): 1 torr equals 1,000 millitorr (mTorr) or microns. This is commonly used for high-vacuum measurements.

The torr provides a convenient scale for vacuum measurements, where typical applications range from rough vacuum (760-1 torr) to high vacuum (10⁻³-10⁻⁹ torr).

About the MPa

Facts & Uses

  • 1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa = 1 N/mm² exactly — the convenient unit for high pressures and material stresses.
  • Standard in materials science for tensile strength: structural steel ≈ 250 MPa yield, high-strength steel 400-700 MPa, carbon fiber 3500+ MPa.
  • Used in hydraulic systems (typical hydraulic pressures 10-35 MPa), injection molding, and industrial pressure vessels.
  • High-pressure applications: diamond anvil cells reach 100-300 GPa; deep ocean trenches around 100 MPa at the Mariana Trench.

Curiosities

  • Concrete compressive strength is typically expressed in MPa: 25 MPa for residential, 40+ MPa for high-rise buildings, 100+ MPa for ultra-high-performance concrete.
  • The Earth's pressure at the core-mantle boundary reaches about 136 GPa = 136,000 MPa — beyond what can be sustained at the surface in any container.
  • 1 MPa is approximately the pressure under a 1 cm column of mercury per square millimeter, or about 145 psi.
  • Approximate equivalents: 1 MPa = 145 psi = 9.87 atm = 10 bar.

About the Torr

Facts & Uses

  • 1 torr = 1/760 of a standard atmosphere exactly = 101325/760 Pa ≈ 133.322 Pa. Numerically equal to 1 mmHg under standard conditions.
  • Named after Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), the inventor of the mercury barometer in 1643.
  • Standard in vacuum technology: ultra-high vacuum systems measured in milli-torr or micro-torr; semiconductor manufacturing uses torr for chamber pressures.
  • Still common in medical contexts for blood pressure (interchangeable with mmHg) and partial pressures of gases in respiratory physiology.

Curiosities

  • The torr is essentially equivalent to mmHg at standard conditions, but the torr is defined exactly while mmHg depends on mercury density and gravity.
  • Torricelli's 1643 experiment was the first scientific demonstration of atmospheric pressure — a glass tube filled with mercury inverted into a basin showed the column standing at ~760 mm.
  • A perfect vacuum would be 0 torr; the lowest practical vacuum in commercial systems is about 10⁻¹¹ torr — used in surface science and accelerators.
  • Approximate equivalents: 760 torr = 1 atm; 1 torr ≈ 133 Pa ≈ 0.0193 psi.
