inches of mercury = megapascals × 295.3

Reverse

megapascals = inches of mercury × 0.003386

Example: 10 MPa × 295.3 = 2,953 inHg.

About both units

From

Megapascal

MPa

The megapascal equals 1,000,000 pascals or 10 bar. Used for high-pressure engineering — hydraulic systems, material strength, concrete compression tests. 1 MPa is roughly the pressure of a 100-tonne weight on 1 m².

Real-world: Concrete compressive strength: 20–60 MPa. Hydraulic press: 30–70 MPa. Steel yield strength: 250+ MPa.

Inch of Mercury

inHg

The inch of mercury equals about 3386 Pa. Used in US barometers, US aviation altimeter settings and some engineering. Standard sea-level pressure: 29.92 inHg.

Real-world: Sea-level standard: 29.92 inHg. Mountain pass at 3000 m: ~21 inHg. US aviation QNH given in inHg.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 MPa = 10 bar = 145 psi.
N/mm² = MPa (same unit, different notation).
Use MPa for material science; bar for fluid dynamics.

Avoid these

Confusing MPa with MW or MJ.
Using 1 MPa = 100 bar — that's incorrect; it's 10 bar.
Mixing MPa and kPa without conversion in mixed docs.
