Convert Baryes to Megapascals
1 barye (Ba) equals 1 × 10⁻⁷ megapascals (MPa).
1 Ba = 1e-7 MPa
Type in either box. Scientific notation works: 1.5e-3.

How to Convert Barye to Megapascal
- 1 Ba = 1 × 10⁻⁷ MPa
- 1 MPa = 10000000 Ba
- Example: convert 15 Ba to MPa: 15 Ba = 15 × 1 × 10⁻⁷ MPa = 0.0000015 MPa
Formula
MPa = Ba ÷ 10000000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 Ba = 1 dyn/cm² = 10⁻⁵ N ÷ 10⁻⁴ m² = 0.1 Pa
- 1 MPa = 10⁶ Pa = 1 N/mm²
- 1 Ba = 0.1 Pa ÷ 1000000 Pa per MPa = 1 × 10⁻⁷ MPa
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Barye definition: barye; Megapascal definition: megapascal.
Worked examples
- A reading of 100 Ba converts to 0.00001 MPa.
100 Ba × 1 × 10⁻⁷ = 0.00001 MPa - A value of 10000 Ba is 0.001 MPa.
10000 Ba × 1 × 10⁻⁷ = 0.001 MPa

Where it's used
Baryes are used for older physics and acoustics literature, while megapascals appear in concrete compressive strength (typically 20–50 MPa). Both measure pressure, stress and differential pressure (force per unit area), so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many megapascals are in 1 barye?
1 Ba = 1 × 10⁻⁷ MPa.
How do I convert baryes to megapascals?
Multiply the value in Ba by 1 × 10⁻⁷, or divide it by 10000000. For example, 15 Ba × 1 × 10⁻⁷ = 0.0000015 MPa.
Is the Ba to MPa conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, and 1 Ba is exactly 1 × 10⁻⁷ MPa.
