Convert kilopascal to pascal
Please provide values below to convert kilopascal [kPa] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to kilopascal.
1 kPa = 1000 Pa. To convert kilopascal to pascal, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 0.001 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 = 1000 Pa
- 1 Pa = 0.001 kPa
- 10 kPa = 10000 Pa
- 100 kPa = 100000 Pa
How to Convert Kilopascal to Pascal
1 kPa = 1000 Pa
Example: convert 15 kPa to Pa:
15 kPa = 15 × 1000 Pa = 15000 Pa

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.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilopascal in pascal?
1 kilopascal (kPa) = 1000 pascal (Pa).
How do you convert kilopascal to pascal?
