kilopascal to megapascal Conversion Formula

To convert from kilopascal (kPa) to megapascal (MPa), use the following formula:

 megapascal (MPa)\textbf{ megapascal} \text{ (MPa)}

=11000× kilopascal (kPa)= \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ kilopascal} \text{ (kPa)}

=0.001× kilopascal (kPa)= 0.001\times \textbf{ kilopascal} \text{ (kPa)}

Example

Let's convert 5 kilopascal (kPa) to megapascal (MPa).

Using the formula:

5×0.001=0.0055 \times 0.001 = 0.005

Therefore, 5 kilopascal (kPa) is equal to 0.0050.005 megapascal (MPa).

What is a kilopascal (kPa)?

A kilopascal (kPa) is a base unit of pressure in the metric system. The plural form is kilopascals.

What is a megapascal (MPa)?

A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equal to one thousand kilopascals (1000 kPa). The plural form is megapascals.

What is the metric system?

The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement used by nearly every country in the world. Its key feature is the use of prefixes to denote multiples and submultiples of the base units by powers of ten.
