How to Convert Millibars to Kilopascals
To convert a measurement in millibars to a measurement in kilopascals, divide the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 10 millibars/kilopascal.
Since one kilopascal is equal to 10 millibars, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilopascals = millibars ÷ 10
The pressure in kilopascals is equal to the pressure in millibars divided by 10.
For example, here's how to convert 5 millibars to kilopascals using the formula above.
kilopascals = (5 mbar ÷ 10) = 0.5 kPa
Millibars and kilopascals are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Millibar?
One millibar is equal to one-thousandth of a bar, which is defined as the pressure of one newton per square meter. One millibar is also equal to one hectopascal.
The millibar is a non-SI metric unit for pressure. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. Millibars can be abbreviated as mbar; for example, 1 millibar can be written as 1 mbar.

What Is a Kilopascal?
The kilopascal is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI derived unit for pressure. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilopascals can be abbreviated as kPa; for example, 1 kilopascal can be written as 1 kPa.
