    How to convert megapascals to pounds per square inch

    Worked example: 1 MPa ≈ 145.04 psi

    MPapsi01201002001 MPa145.04 psi

    1 MPa × 645.16 ÷ 4.4482216152605 ≈ 145.04 psi

    645.16 = 1,000,000 Pa in a megapascal × 0.00064516 m² in a square inch; 4.4482216152605 N in a pound-force

    Rule: pounds per square inch = megapascals × 645.16 ÷ 4.4482216152605 ≈ megapascals × 145.038 — 1 psi = 1 lbf/in².

    FAQ

    How many psi is 1 MPa?

    1 MPa ≈ 145.038 psi. Exactly, psi = MPa × 645.16 ÷ 4.4482216152605. The factor never ends as a decimal, so almost every answer in psi is rounded and shown after ≈; an answer that comes out exact is shown with =.

    Where do 645.16 and 4.4482216152605 come from?

    A psi is one pound-force (4.4482216152605 N exactly) on one square inch (0.00064516 m² exactly), and a megapascal is exactly 1,000,000 Pa. 645.16 is 1,000,000 Pa in a megapascal times 0.00064516 m², so psi = MPa × 645.16 ÷ 4.4482216152605.

    How do MPa relate to bar?

    1 MPa = 10 bar exactly (1 bar = 100,000 Pa), so 0.6 MPa = 6 bar. Every answer on this page also shows bar, kgf/cm² and atm.

    Gauge or absolute pressure: does it matter?

    No, as long as both sides are of the same kind. Gauge pressure (psig) counts from the surrounding air, absolute pressure (psia) from vacuum, and the factor is the same for both. Data sheets usually give gauge pressure.
