Convert Kilopascals to Pascals
kPa to Pa · pressure conversion
What are kilopascals and pascals?
A kilopascal is 1,000 pascals, commonly used for tire and weather pressure. The pascal is the SI unit of pressure, one newton per square meter. For reference: car tires run around 32 psi (220 kPa), and sea-level air pressure is about 101 kPa.
How to convert kilopascals to pascals
1 kPa = 1,000 Pa. To convert, multiply the number of kilopascals by 1,000. For example, 5 kPa = 5,000 Pa, and 20 kPa = 20,000 Pa. To go the other way, multiply pascals by 0.001 (since 1 Pa = 0.001 kPa).

FAQ
What is 1 kPa in Pa?
1 kPa = 1,000 Pa. To convert any amount, multiply the number of kilopascals by 1,000.
How do I convert pascals back to kilopascals?
Go the other way: 1 Pa = 0.001 kPa, so multiply pascals by 0.001 to get kilopascals.
Is a kilopascal bigger than a pascal?
Yes — 1 kPa is the larger unit, equal to 1,000 Pa.
Are these pressure conversions exact?
They use the standard internationally-defined conversion factors. Results are rounded to six significant figures for readability, which is accurate enough for everyday and most technical use.
