What are Bar and Megapascal

A bar is a unit of pressure defined as 100,000 pascals. It is about equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. Though not an SI unit, it is widely used in meteorology and geology.

A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure or stress in the metric system equal to one million pascals. It is commonly used in materials science and engineering to measure tensile strength.

History of Bar and Megapascal

The conversion between bar and megapascals (MPa) has become a standard in pressure measurements, especially in the fields of meteorology, engineering, and material science. Historically, the need for diverse pressure units arose from various scientific and industrial demands, leading to the establishment of these units for accurate and consistent pressure measurements.
