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

Kilopascal (kPa)

System: SI

Definition:1 Kilopascal = 1000 Pascals.

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

Common Usage: Commonly used in many fields including atmospheric pressure (weather reports), tire pressure, and engineering.
