Pascals to Pressure Converter
Pascal to Kilopascal Conversion
1 Pascal = 0.001 Kilopascal
Convert between Pascal and Kilopascal with step-by-step calculations.
Unit Information
Pascal (Pa)
The SI derived unit of pressure.
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 Pascal to Pascal, then convert from Pascal to Kilopascal.
Step 1: Convert from Pascal to Pascal
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Pascal
Step 2: Convert from Pascal to Kilopascal
1 × 0.001 = 0.001
Result: 0.001 Kilopascal
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 1,000 = 0.001
Direct conversion: 1 Pascal = 0.001 Kilopascal
Pascal (Pa)
System: SI
Definition:1 Pascal is equal to one Newton per square meter (1 Pa = 1 N/m²).
Origin: Named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal.
Common Usage: Used widely in scientific and engineering contexts. Often used with SI prefixes due to its small magnitude.
Synonyms: newton per square meter, N/m²
