Conversion Process

This conversion uses Pascal as the base unit. We'll first convert Kilopascal to Pascal, then convert from Pascal to Pascal.

Step 1: Convert from Kilopascal to Pascal

1 × 1,000 = 1,000

Result: 1,000 Pascal

Step 2: Convert from Pascal to Pascal

1,000 × 1 = 1,000

Result: 1,000 Pascal

Direct Conversion Factor

1 × 1,000 = 1,000

Direct conversion: 1 Kilopascal = 1,000 Pascal

Kilopascal (kPa)
