MPa a kPa convertitore - Megapascal a Kilopascal

Conversion derivation

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

1. 1

   Rewrite MPa in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{MPa}=1,000,000\mathrm{Pa}$$
2. 2

   Rewrite kPa in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{kPa}=1,000\mathrm{Pa}$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{MPa}& =\frac{1,000,000\cancel{\mathrm{Pa}}}{1,000\cancel{\mathrm{Pa}}}\times 1\mathrm{kPa}\\ & =\frac{1,000,000}{1,000}\mathrm{kPa}\\ & =1,000\mathrm{kPa}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{kPa}& =\frac{1,000\cancel{\mathrm{Pa}}}{1,000,000\cancel{\mathrm{Pa}}}\times 1\mathrm{MPa}\\ & =\frac{1,000}{1,000,000}\mathrm{MPa}\\ & =0.001\mathrm{MPa}\end{array}$$
