# Megapascals to Bar (MPa to bar)

> Convert megapascals to bar: 1 MPa = 10 bar. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

- Page id: `mpa-to-bar` · Quantity: Pressure (`pressure`, base unit Pa) · Tool: `convert_units`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/mpa-to-bar · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/mpa-to-bar.md · JSON: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/mpa-to-bar.json (add `?value=` for a result)

## Formula

- `1 MPa = 10 bar`
- `bar = megapascals × 10`
- Reverse: `megapascals = bar × 0.1`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

## Worked examples

- 5 MPa = 50 bar
- 12.5 MPa = 125 bar
- 100 MPa = 1000 bar

## FAQ

**How many bar are in one megapascal?**

1 MPa = 10 bar. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

**What is the formula to convert megapascals to bar?**

Multiply the value in megapascals by 10: bar = megapascals × 10. For example, 5 MPa = 50 bar.

**How do I convert bar back to megapascals?**

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.1 (megapascals = bar × 0.1), or use the bar-to-megapascals page.
