MPa to kPa Converter - Megapascal to Kilopascal

Megapascal (MPa) to Kilopascal (kPa)

Direct answer

1 MPa = 1,000 kPa

kPa = MPa × 1,000

Converter

Input

MPa

Result

1,000kPa

kPa = MPa × 1,000

MPa = kPa × 0.001

Example: 10 MPa = 10 × 1,000 = 10,000 kPa.

Express both MPa and kPa in the same base unit Pa (pascal), then cancel the shared base unit.

1
Rewrite MPa in the base unit
$1 MPa = 1, 000, 000 Pa$
2
Rewrite kPa in the base unit
$1 kPa = 1, 000 Pa$
3
Forward conversion
$1 MPa = \frac{1 , 000 , 000 Pa}{1 , 000 Pa} \times 1 kPa = \frac{1 , 000 , 000}{1 , 000} kPa = 1, 000 kPa$
4
Reverse conversion
$1 kPa = \frac{1 , 000 Pa}{1 , 000 , 000 Pa} \times 1 MPa = \frac{1 , 000}{1 , 000 , 000} MPa = 0.001 MPa$

1 MPa = 1,000 kPa.

10 MPa = 10,000 kPa.

100 MPa = 100,000 kPa.

Use kPa = MPa × 1,000.

1 kPa = 0.001 MPa.

Use the conversion factor and round the result to the precision required by your calculation.
