How to Convert PSF to Megapascals
To convert psf to megapascals, divide the value by 20885.42.
The Formula
Megapascals = PSF ÷ 20885.42
Key Fact
1 megapascal = 20885.42 psf
Tip: To convert megapascals back to psf, multiply by 20885.42.

1 psf = 4.788e-5 MPa
Full precision:0.00004788 MPa
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 psf to megapascals, we divide by 20885.42 because one megapascal equals exactly 20885.42 psf.
1 megapascal = 20885.42 psf
Since there are 20885.42 psf in every megapascal, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 20885.42 = 4.788e-5 megapascals
So 1 psf = 4.788e-5 megapascals.
Quick check: 4.788e-5 × 20885.42 = 1 psf
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 psf = 4.788e-5 MPa
1 ÷ 20885.42 = 4.788e-5
1 ÷ 20885.42 = 4.788e-5
Example 2: 5 psf = 0.000239 MPa
5 ÷ 20885.42 = 0.000239
5 ÷ 20885.42 = 0.000239
Example 3: 10 psf = 0.000479 MPa
10 ÷ 20885.42 = 0.000479
10 ÷ 20885.42 = 0.000479
