Convert kilopascal to millipascal
Please provide values below to convert kilopascal [kPa] to millipascal [mPa], or Convert millipascal to kilopascal.
1 kPa = 1000000 mPa. To convert kilopascal to millipascal, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mPa = 1e-06 kPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kPa = 1000000 mPa
- 1 mPa = 1e-06 kPa
- 10 kPa = 10000000 mPa
- 100 kPa = 100000000 mPa
How to Convert Kilopascal to Millipascal
1 kPa = 1000000 mPa
Example: convert 15 kPa to mPa:
15 kPa = 15 × 1000000 mPa = 15000000 mPa

Kilopascal
The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, where one pascal is defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The kilopascal was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, replacing larger units like the bar in many applications.
Current Use
The kilopascal is widely used today in various fields such as meteorology, engineering, and physics to measure pressure, including tire pressure, blood pressure, and atmospheric pressure.
Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilopascal in millipascal?
1 kilopascal (kPa) = 1000000 millipascal (mPa).
How do you convert kilopascal to millipascal?
Multiply the kilopascal value by 1000000. For example, 25 kPa × 1000000 = 25000000 mPa.
