How to Convert Pounds per Square Inch to Megapascals

Conversion factor:

1 psi=0.00689 MPa1\,\text{psi} = 0.00689\,\text{MPa}

Inverse factor:

1 MPa=145.03768 psi1\,\text{MPa} = 145.03768\,\text{psi}

Example

Convert 15 psi to MPa:

MPa=psi×0.00689\text{MPa} = \text{psi} \times 0.00689
MPa=15×0.00689\text{MPa} = 15 \times 0.00689
MPa=0.10342\text{MPa} = 0.10342
=0.10342 MPa= 0.10342 \, \text{MPa}
