What are Megapascal and Bar

Definition of Megapascal

A Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one million pascals. It is widely used in engineering and physics to quantify internal pressure, tensile strength, and mechanical stress. The unit is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to fluid mechanics and the understanding of pressure.

Definition of Bar

A Bar is a unit of pressure equivalent to 100,000 pascals or roughly equal to the atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. It is not part of the International System of Units (SI), but it is accepted for use. The bar is commonly used in meteorology, oceanography, and other scientific disciplines to measure atmospheric and water pressures.
