Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
Pa = MPa × 1000000
Multiply any value in megapascals by 1000000 to obtain the value in pascals.
Worked example
Convert 1 MPa to Pa.
- 01Start with 1 MPa.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 Pa.
Result1 MPa = 1.00000e+6 Pa

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from MPa to Pa?
1 MPa equals 1000000 Pa. To convert, multiply the value in megapascals by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 MPa to Pa?
1 MPa = 1.00000e+6 Pa. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert Pa back to MPa?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 Pa = 1e-6 MPa.
When would I need to convert megapascal to pascal?
Pressure conversions between MPa and Pa are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
