Kilopascals to Pascals Conversion Table
Common values, ready to copy:
| kilopascals | pascals |
|---|---|
| 1 kPa | 1000 Pa |
| 2 kPa | 2000 Pa |
| 5 kPa | 5000 Pa |
| 10 kPa | 10000 Pa |
| 25 kPa | 25000 Pa |
| 50 kPa | 50000 Pa |
| 100 kPa | 100000 Pa |
| 1,000 kPa | 1.0000e+6 Pa |
Formula
pascals = kilopascals × 1000
Pressure is force per area. 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 14.696 psi = 760 mmHg. Bar is a metric working unit close to atmospheric pressure (1 bar = 100 kPa).
About Kilopascals and Pascals
Kilopascals (kPa): A thousand pascals; the practical SI pressure unit for atmospheric and engineering work. Common uses: Weather reports (atmospheric pressure in kPa, where standard sea-level pressure is about 101 kPa), tire pressure in many countries, and structural engineering.
Pascals (Pa): The SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter; named for Blaise Pascal, who established fundamental principles of fluid pressure in the 17th century. Common uses: Scientific work, weather (atmospheric pressure in hectopascals or kilopascals), and engineering specifications.
How the conversion works
Pressure is force per area. 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 14.696 psi = 760 mmHg. Bar is a metric working unit close to atmospheric pressure (1 bar = 100 kPa).
The exact relationship is pascals = kilopascals × 1000, which the calculator at the top of this page applies in both directions. Type into either field and the other updates immediately.
When this conversion matters
Converting between kilopascals and pascals comes up wherever pressure measurements move between systems — from one country's conventions to another's, from a scientific reference to a practical specification, or from one industry's working unit to another's. The calculator and reference table above cover the everyday range; for unusual values you can type any number into either field.
