Megapascals to Kilopascals converter

To convert megapascals to kilopascals, enter the value in the first field. The result in kilopascals is calculated automatically using the exact conversion factor.

1 MPa = 1000 kPa
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa

Formula: kPa = MPa × 1000
MPa = kPa × 0.001

Definitions: 1 MPa = 1000000 Pa; 1 kPa = 1000 Pa

The megapascal (MPa) is one million pascals, or one newton per square millimeter. It is the standard unit for material strength, hydraulic pressure and high-pressure equipment, and for stress in steel and concrete.

The kilopascal (kPa) is 1,000 pascals. It is used for tire pressure in many countries, for weather reports in Canada, and for the pressure ratings of gas cylinders, pipes and containers.
