What is Megapascal?

Megapascal is a pressure unit used to express mechanical, atmospheric or process pressure values.

Short history of Megapascal

The prefix mega- (one million, from Greek megas, great) was formally adopted with the SI in 1960; the megapascal is the usual unit for material strength and hydraulic pressure.

What is Kilopascal?

The kilopascal is a pressure unit equal to 1,000 pascals. It provides more readable numbers for practical engineering work.

Short history of Kilopascal

The kilopascal became common in field measurements and engineering documents where single pascals would be too small for routine reporting.
