Convert Pa to kPa
Type the number of pascals that you wish to convert to kilopascals.
How to Convert Pascals to Kilopascals
The pascal and kilopascal are both units of pressure. By definition, 1 kilopascal equals exactly 1000 pascals. This means to convert pascals to kilopascals, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Pa to kilopascals:
We need to convert pascals to kilopascals
Since 1 kPa = 1000 Pa, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 Pa = 0.005 kPa

About These Units
Pascal (Pa)
The Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure equal to one newton per square meter. Pascals measure atmospheric pressure, sound pressure levels, and material stress. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101,325 Pa. Named after mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal.
Kilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal (kPa) equals 1,000 Pascals or approximately 0.145 PSI. Kilopascals measure tire pressure in metric countries (typically 200-250 kPa for cars), blood pressure, and industrial processes. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa.
Frequently Asked Questions
