pascal [Pa] to kilopascal [kPa] Converter

Quick Reference

1 pascal (Pa) = 0.001 kilopascal (kPa)

1 kilopascal (kPa) = 1000 pascal (Pa)

How to Convert pascal to kilopascal

1 Pa = 0.001 kPa
1 kPa = 1000 Pa

To convert pascal to kilopascal, divide the value by 1000 (equivalently, multiply by 0.001). To convert kilopascal back to pascal, multiply by 1000.

Example: convert 10 Pa to kPa:
10 Pa = 10 x 0.001 = 0.01 kPa

↔ Convert kilopascal to pascal

pascal

Definition: The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength.

History/origin: The pascal is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer, and philosopher. The unit was adopted in 1971.

Current use: The pascal is used worldwide for measuring pressure in various applications, including meteorology (atmospheric pressure), material science (stress and strain), and engineering (fluid pressure).

kilopascal

Definition: The kilopascal (symbol: kPa) is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure and stress. One kPa is equal to 1000 pascals.

History/origin: Like the pascal, the kilopascal's origin is tied to the development of SI units. It provides a more convenient scale for expressing pressures larger than a single pascal.

Current use: Kilopascals are widely used in engineering, construction, and meteorology for measuring air pressure, fluid pressure, and mechanical stress.
