kilopascal to megapascal Conversion Formula

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

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

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

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

Example

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

Using the formula:

$5 \times 0.001 = 0.005$

Therefore, 5 kilopascal (kPa) is equal to $0.005$ 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.

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.
