Convert PSI to MPa
Free online converter to transform pounds per square inch (PSI) to megapascals (MPa) instantly
Pressure Unit Converter
Formula: 1 PSI = 0.00689476 MPa
Precision: Up to 6 decimal places
PSI to MPa Conversion Formula
Basic Formula
MPa = PSI × 0.00689476
Where:
- MPa = Megapascals
- PSI = Pounds per Square Inch
- 0.00689476 = Conversion factor
Reverse Conversion
PSI = MPa ÷ 0.00689476
To convert MPa back to PSI, divide by the same factor.
