Conversion Formula
The formula to convert psi to mpa is psi value times 0.00689476. This works because 1 psi equals 0.00689476 mpa, which is derived from the conversion factor between pounds per square inch and megapascals. For example, converting 200 psi involves multiplying 200 by 0.00689476, resulting in 1.378952 mpa.
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 psi to mpa:
- Multiply 100 by 0.00689476.
- 100 × 0.00689476 = 0.689476 mpa.
- Convert 200 psi to mpa:
- Multiply 200 by 0.00689476.
- 200 × 0.00689476 = 1.378952 mpa.
- Convert 50 psi to mpa:
- Multiply 50 by 0.00689476.
- 50 × 0.00689476 = 0.344738 mpa.
- Convert 75 psi to mpa:
- Multiply 75 by 0.00689476.
- 75 × 0.00689476 = 0.517108 mpa.
- Convert 125 psi to mpa:
- Multiply 125 by 0.00689476.
- 125 × 0.00689476 = 0.863095 mpa.

Conversion Definitions
psi
Psi (pounds per square inch) measures pressure by indicating how many pounds of force are applied over an area of one square inch. It’s common in the United States for tire pressures, fluid systems, and engineering applications involving pressure levels.
mpa
Megapascal (mpa) is a metric unit for pressure, equal to one million pascals. It quantifies force per unit area, often used in engineering, material science, and physics to describe stresses, pressures, and force distributions in systems.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is converting psi to mpa using the multiplication factor?
The conversion factor 0.00689476 is highly precise, providing results accurate to four decimal places. For most practical purposes, this level of precision suffices, but scientific calculations may require more detailed conversion factors or calibration.
Can I directly convert other pressure units to mpa using this method?
Yes, but you need the specific conversion factor for each unit. For example, bar to mpa involves multiplying by 0.1, and kg/cm² to mpa involves multiplying by 0.0980665. Always use the correct factor for the units involved.
Why is psi converted to mpa in pressure measurement?
Pressure measurement varies based on regional or application standards. Metric units like mpa are standard in many parts of the world, especially in scientific and industrial settings, making conversions necessary for international communication and data comparison.
