Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between kilopascals and megapascals.
What is a kilopascal (kPa)?
A kilopascal is a unit of Pressure in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for kilopascal is kPa. There are 1,000 kilopascals in a megapascal.
What is a megapascal (MPa)?
A megapascal is a unit of Pressure in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for megapascal is MPa. There are 0.001 megapascals in a kilopascal.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from kPa to MPa is:
MPa = kPa ÷ 1,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from kilopascals to megapascals (kPa to MPa).
Kilopascal to Megapascal Conversion Example
Task: Convert 965 kilopascals to megapascals (show work) Formula: kPa ÷ 1,000 = MPa Calculations: 965 kPa ÷ 1,000 = 0.965 MPa Result: 965 kPa is equal to 0.965 MPa
