Convert between Megapascal and Kilopascal with step-by-step calculations.

Unit Information

Megapascal (MPa)

A metric unit of pressure equal to one million pascals.

System: SI

Kilopascal (kPa)

A metric unit of pressure equal to one thousand pascals.

System: SI

Conversion Process

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

Step 1: Convert from Megapascal to Pascal

1 × 1.00M = 1.00M

Result: 1.00M Pascal

Step 2: Convert from Pascal to Kilopascal

1.00M × 0.001 = 1,000

Result: 1,000 Kilopascal

Direct Conversion Factor

1 × 1,000 = 1,000

Direct conversion: 1 Megapascal = 1,000 Kilopascal

Megapascal (MPa)

System: SI

Definition:1 Megapascal = 10⁶ Pascals.

Origin: Derived from the Pascal and the SI prefix "mega-".

Common Usage: Commonly used for high pressures, such as in hydraulics and material strength specifications.
