What are Megapascal and Centipascal

Definition of Megapascal

A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure or stress within the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one million pascals, the standard unit of pressure. Megapascals are commonly used in materials science and engineering to express the tensile strength or elastic modulus of materials, as well as in hydraulics and pneumatics to measure pressure.

Definition of Centipascal

A centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, which is a submultiple of the pascal. It is equal to one hundredth (1/100) of a pascal, the SI unit for pressure. Centipascals are not commonly used in practice due to their small magnitude, but they are useful for certain scientific calculations where fine measurements of pressure are required.

Conversion of Megapascal to Centipascal

1 MPa = 100,000 cPa
1 cPa = 0.00001 MPa

Example 1:
convert 0.2 MPa to cPa:
0.2 MPa = 0.2 × 100,000 cPa = 20,000 cPa

Example 2:
convert 1.5 MPa to cPa:
1.5 MPa = 1.5 × 100,000 cPa = 150,000 cPa
