Kilopascals to Pascals (kPa to Pa)

Formula

1 kPa = 1000 Pa

pascals = kilopascals × 1000 — reverse: kilopascals = pascals × 0.001

The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: Pa) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

Worked examples

• 5 kPa = 5000 Pa
• 12.5 kPa = 12500 Pa
• 100 kPa = 100000 Pa

FAQ

How many pascals are in one kilopascal?

1 kPa = 1000 Pa. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

What is the formula to convert kilopascals to pascals?

Multiply the value in kilopascals by 1000: pascals = kilopascals × 1000. For example, 5 kPa = 5000 Pa.

How do I convert pascals back to kilopascals?

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.001 (kilopascals = pascals × 0.001), or use the pascals-to-kilopascals page.
