MPa to bar converter
1 MPa = 10 bar
And 1 bar = 0.1 MPa. Megapascal to bar.
Formula
bar = MPa × 10
A reading of 15 MPa is 15 × 10 = 150 bar.

About these units
MPa (megapascal): Standard for material strength, hydraulics and pressure vessels; equal to 1 N/mm².
bar (bar): Close to one atmosphere; widely used for industrial and pneumatic gauges outside the US.
Gauge pressure (psig, barg) is measured relative to the surrounding atmosphere; absolute pressure (psia, bara) is relative to vacuum. Converting units never changes that reference: absolute = gauge + about 14.696 psi (1.01325 bar) at sea level. Stress uses the same units: 1 MPa = 1 N/mm².
