Convert decipascal to megapascal

Please provide values below to convert decipascal [dPa] to megapascal [MPa], or Convert megapascal to decipascal.




How to Convert Decipascal to Megapascal

1 dPa = 1e-07 MPa

Example: convert 15 dPa to MPa:
15 dPa = 15 × 1e-07 MPa = 1.5e-06 MPa


Decipascal to Megapascal Conversion Table

decipascal megapascal

Decipascal

The decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one-tenth of a pascal, where 1 dPa = 0.1 Pa.

History/Origin

The decipascal was introduced as a metric unit to provide finer measurement options within the pressure unit system, though it is rarely used in practice due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.

Current Use

The decipascal is seldom used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific contexts or educational settings for illustrative purposes.


Megapascal

The megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the pressure exerted by a force of one newton per square meter.

History/Origin

The megapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a convenient scale for measuring high pressures, especially in engineering and scientific applications, replacing larger units like the bar in many contexts.

Current Use

The MPa is widely used today in engineering, material science, and industrial applications to specify pressures in fields such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and structural engineering.
