Discover the ease of converting Megapascals to Standard Atmospheres using Newtum's precise MPa to atm tool. Start your seamless conversion experience now!
A Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to one million pascals. It's widely used in material science and engineering to express the stress within a material or the pressure of a system. One MPa represents the force of one newton exerted over an area of one square meter.
Definition of AtmosphereAn atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as the air pressure at sea level on Earth, which is 101,325 Pascals. It serves as a reference for measuring other pressures and is commonly used in meteorology, aviation, and various scientific contexts to express atmospheric pressure.
| Megapascal (MPa) | Standard Atmosphere (atm) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 MPa | 0.987 atm |
| 0.5 MPa | 4.936 atm |
| 1 MPa | 9.869 atm |
| 1.5 MPa | 14.804 atm |
| 2 MPa | 19.738 atm |
| 2.5 MPa | 24.673 atm |
| 3 MPa | 29.608 atm |
| 3.5 MPa | 34.542 atm |
| 4 MPa | 39.477 atm |
| 4.5 MPa | 44.411 atm |
1 MPa = 9.869 atm
1 atm = 0.1013 MPa
Example 1:
Convert 2 MPa to atm:
2 MPa = 2 × 9.869 atm = 19.738 atm
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 MPa to atm:
0.5 MPa = 0.5 × 9.869 atm = 4.935 atm
A brief history of the Megapascal to Standard Atmosphere Converter traces back to the need for consistent pressure measurements in different fields like meteorology, aviation, and engineering. The converter was developed to provide a simple tool for converting between the modern metric unit of megapascals and the traditional unit of atmospheres, widely recognized for its relevance to ambient pressure at sea level.
Embark on a journey to discover the practical applications of converting MPa to atm in real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
To convert 1.2 MPa to atm:
