›› Definition: Megapascal
The SI prefix "mega" represents a factor of 10 6 , or in exponential notation, 1E6.
So 1 megapascal = 10 6 pascals.
The definition of a pascal is as follows:
The pascal (symbol Pa) is the SI unit of pressure.It is equivalent to one newton per square metre. The unit is named after Blaise Pascal, the eminent French mathematician, physicist and philosopher.
›› Definition: Pound/square inch
The pound per square inch or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi or lbf/inІ or lbf/inІ) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
