Question 1

How do I convert MPa to bar?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 10. 1 MPa = 10 bar = 145 PSI. Simple relationship in metric system.

Question 2

What is hydraulic system pressure in MPa?

Accepted Answer

Light duty: 7-14 MPa. Heavy duty: 20-35 MPa. High pressure: 50-70 MPa. Waterjet cutting: 400+ MPa.

Question 3

What pressure units do different industries use?

Accepted Answer

PSI in US/UK automotive and HVAC. Bar/kPa in European engineering. mmHg/torr in medicine. Atmospheres in diving and altitude.

Question 4

Is gauge pressure different from absolute pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Gauge pressure reads 0 at atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure adds atmospheric (~14.7 psi). Vacuum gauge shows negative gauge pressure.
