How to Convert Pascals to Kilopascals
To convert a measurement in pascals to a measurement in kilopascals, divide the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 pascals/kilopascal.
Since one kilopascal is equal to 1,000 pascals, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilopascals = pascals ÷ 1,000
The pressure in kilopascals is equal to the pressure in pascals divided by 1,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5,000 pascals to kilopascals using the formula above.
kilopascals = (5,000 Pa ÷ 1,000) = 5 kPa
Pascals and kilopascals are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Pascal?
The pascal is defined as the pressure of one newton per square meter.
The pascal is the SI derived unit for pressure in the metric system. Pascals can be abbreviated as Pa; for example, 1 pascal can be written as 1 Pa.
Pascals can be expressed using the formula:
1 Pa = 1 N / m2
Pressure in pascals is equal to the force in newtons divided by the area in square meters.

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.
