A pascal is the SI unit of pressure equal to one newton per square meter.
The pascal became the standard SI pressure unit for science, engineering, and technical measurement.
Pa is used in sensors, laboratory data, fluid mechanics, acoustics, material testing, ventilation, and engineering calculations.
A megapascal is an SI pressure unit equal to one million pascals.
MPa became common in engineering because many stress and high-pressure values are easier to work with at the million-pascal scale.
MPa is used in materials engineering, hydraulics, structural analysis, pressure vessels, mechanical design, and industrial specifications.
Mathematically, megapascal (MPa) = pascal (Pa) converted with the formula below.
1 Pa = 0.000001 MPa
1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa
Formula: value × 0.000001
Example: 15 Pa = 0.000015 MPa
Precision note: Use exactly 1,000,000 Pa per MPa. Preserve decimal MPa values when the pascal source does not divide evenly.
1 Pa = 0.000001 MPa
1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa
| Pascal [Pa] | Megapascal [MPa] |
|---|---|
| 0.01 Pa | 1.000000e-8 MPa |
| 0.1 Pa | 0 MPa |
| 1 Pa | 0.000001 MPa |
| 2 Pa | 0.000002 MPa |
| 5 Pa | 0.000005 MPa |
| 10 Pa | 0.00001 MPa |
| 20 Pa | 0.00002 MPa |
| 50 Pa | 0.00005 MPa |
| 100 Pa | 0.0001 MPa |
One MPa contains exactly 1,000,000 pascals.
5,000,000 Pa equals 5 MPa.
Use MPa when the pressure or stress is large enough that pascal values become unwieldy.
