Convert bar to millipascal
Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to millipascal [mPa], or Convert millipascal to bar.
1 bar = 100000000 mPa. To convert bar to millipascal, multiply the value by 100000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mPa = 1e-08 bar). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 bar = 100000000 mPa
- 1 mPa = 1e-08 bar
- 10 bar = 1000000000 mPa
- 100 bar = 10000000000 mPa
How to Convert Bar to Millipascal
1 bar = 100000000 mPa
Example: convert 15 bar to mPa:
15 bar = 15 × 100000000 mPa = 1500000000 mPa

Bar
The bar is a unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The bar was introduced in 1909 by the British engineering community as a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in meteorology and engineering contexts.
Current Use
The bar is widely used in meteorology, engineering, and industrial applications to measure pressure, although the pascal is the SI base unit. It is also common in tire pressure measurements and other pressure-related fields.
Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 bar in millipascal?
1 bar (bar) = 100000000 millipascal (mPa).
How do you convert bar to millipascal?
Multiply the bar value by 100000000. For example, 25 bar × 100000000 = 2500000000 mPa.
