megapascals

Metric stress measurement

Megapascals is the plural of megapascal, a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals.

The megapascal is standard in engineering and materials science for measuring tensile strength, stress, and high pressures: The concrete has a compressive strength of 30 megapascals.

Abbreviated MPa.
