Convert megapascal to exapascal
Please provide values below to convert megapascal [MPa] to exapascal [EPa], or Convert exapascal to megapascal.
How to Convert Megapascal to Exapascal
1 MPa = 1e-12 EPa
Example: convert 15 MPa to EPa:
15 MPa = 15 × 1e-12 EPa = 1.5e-11 EPa

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.
Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
