Common pitfalls and look-alike units

One standard atmosphere is exactly 101325 Pa while 1 bar is 100000 Pa — about 1.3% apart, so do not mix them. Tire pressures are often quoted in psi or bar (1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi, 1 psi ≈ 6.895 kPa); millimeter of mercury uses the conventional value 1 mmHg = 133.322387415 Pa.

Frequently asked questions

How many megapascals are in a kilopascal?

1 kilopascal (kPa) equals 0.001 megapascal (MPa).

How do I convert kilopascals to megapascals?

Multiply the kilopascal value by 0.001 to get megapascal — for example, 2 kilopascals = 0.002 megapascal.

How do I convert megapascals back to kilopascals?

1 megapascal equals 1000 kilopascal. Use the swap button or the reverse conversion page linked on this page.
