Converting from Megapascal (MPa) to Pound Per Square Inch (psi)

What is Megapascal (MPa)

Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure derived from the International System of Units (SI), equal to one million pascals. It is commonly used in engineering and scientific applications to measure high levels of pressure.

What is Pound Per Square Inch (psi)

Pound per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States and other countries that follow the imperial system. It represents the amount of pressure resulting from one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Megapascal (MPa) to Pound per Square Inch (psi), you can use the following formula:

Pressure in psi=Pressure in MPa×145.0377

To convert from Pound per Square Inch (psi) to Megapascal (MPa), you can use the formula:

Pressure in MPa=Pressure in psi×0.006894757

Examples
