Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between megapascals and kilopascals.
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.
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.
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 MPa to kPa is:
kPa = MPa x 1,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from megapascals to kilopascals (MPa to kPa).
Megapascal to Kilopascal Conversion Example
Task: Convert 7 megapascals to kilopascals (show work) Formula: MPa x 1,000 = kPa Calculations: 7 MPa x 1,000 = 7,000 kPa Result: 7 MPa is equal to 7,000 kPa
