Convert Pascals to Kilopascals
Pa to kPa · pressure conversion
What are pascals and kilopascals?
The pascal is the SI unit of pressure, one newton per square meter. A kilopascal is 1,000 pascals, commonly used for tire and weather pressure. For reference: car tires run around 32 psi (220 kPa), and sea-level air pressure is about 101 kPa.
How to convert pascals to kilopascals
1 Pa = 0.001 kPa. To convert, multiply the number of pascals by 0.001. For example, 5 Pa = 0.005 kPa, and 20 Pa = 0.02 kPa. To go the other way, multiply kilopascals by 1,000 (since 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa).

FAQ
What is 1 Pa in kPa?
1 Pa = 0.001 kPa. To convert any amount, multiply the number of pascals by 0.001.
How do I convert kilopascals back to pascals?
Go the other way: 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa, so multiply kilopascals by 1,000 to get pascals.
Is a pascal bigger than a kilopascal?
No — 1 Pa is the smaller unit, equal to 0.001 kPa (it takes 1,000 Pa to make one kPa).
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.
