Kilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal is one thousand pascals — a practical SI scale for everyday and engineering pressures.
Kilopascals label tire pressure in many countries, HVAC ductwork, and meteorological pressure charts.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa
1 MPa = 1000 kPa
To convert kilopascal to megapascal, multiply by 0.001.
To convert megapascal to kilopascal, multiply by 1000.
Example: convert 10 kPa to MPa
10 × 0.001 = 0.01 MPa
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Megapascal (MPa)
A megapascal is one million pascals — a scale for high-strength materials and deep industrial pressures.
Megapascals rate concrete strength, hydraulic systems, and pressures in oil and gas equipment.
Frequently asked questions
How many megapascals are in one kilopascal?
One kilopascal equals 0.001 megapascals. Multiply your kilopascals value by 0.001 to convert to megapascals.
What is the conversion formula?
MPa = kPa × 0.001The reverse is
kPa = MPa × 1,000, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Kilopascal to Megapascal converter private?
