Key Stage 4
Meaning
Megapascals (MPa) are a unit of pressure 1,000,000 times larger than the SI Unit; the Pascal.
About Megapascals
- Megapascals are shortened to MPa with an upper case M, an upper case P and a lower case a.
- Mega means one million so there are 1,000,000 Pascals in a megapascal.
Converting to Megapascals
| Unit | To convert | Megapascals |
| 1 megapascal (1MPa) | Convert to Megapascals x1 | 1MPa |
| 1 kilopascal (1kPa) | Convert to Megapascals x10-3 | 1x10-3MPa |
| 1 Pascal (1Pa) | Convert to Megapascals x10-6 | 1x10-6MPa |
| 1 millipascal 1(mPa) | Convert to Megapascals x10-9 | 1x10-9MPa |
| 1 micropascal 1(µPa) | Convert to Megapascals x10-12 | 1x10-12MPa |
| 1 nanopascal 1(nPa) | Convert to Megapascals x10-15 | 1x10-15MPa |
