> Convert megapascals to psi: 1 MPa = 145.038 psi. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

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

## Formula

- `1 MPa = 145.038 psi`
- `psi = megapascals × 145.0377377`
- Reverse: `megapascals = psi × 0.006894757293`

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 = 725.189 psi
- 12.5 MPa = 1812.97 psi
- 100 MPa = 14503.8 psi

## FAQ

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

1 MPa = 145.038 psi. 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 psi?**

Multiply the value in megapascals by 145.0377377: psi = megapascals × 145.0377377. For example, 5 MPa = 725.189 psi.

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

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.006894757293 (megapascals = psi × 0.006894757293), or use the psi-to-megapascals page.
