The SI derived unit of pressure.
System: SI
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
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
