Standard Atmospheres to Megapascals Converter
1 standard atmosphere = 0.101325 megapascals
1 standard atmosphere equals 0.101325 megapascals
How to convert standard atmospheres to megapascals
Unit conversion preserves the pressure reference. Gauge pressure and absolute pressure are different readings; changing between them also needs the ambient pressure. Mercury and water-column units use the conventions stated in their unit notes.
MPa = atm × 0.101325One standard atmosphere is 0.101325 megapascals, so a single multiplication converts any value.
1.01325 MPa = 10 × 0.101325Standard atmospheres to megapascals conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
