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.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 MPa = 1000 kPa
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa
To convert megapascal to kilopascal, multiply by 1000.
To convert kilopascal to megapascal, multiply by 0.001.
Example: convert 10 MPa to kPa
10 × 1000 = 10000 kPa
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
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.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilopascals are in one megapascal?
One megapascal equals 1,000 kilopascals. Multiply your megapascals value by 1,000 to convert to kilopascals.
What is the conversion formula?
kPa = MPa × 1,000The reverse is
MPa = kPa × 0.001, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Megapascal to Kilopascal converter private?
