Pa a kPa convertitore - Pascal a Kilopascal

Conversion derivation

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

1. 1

   Rewrite Pa in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{Pa}=1\mathrm{Pa}$$
2. 2

   Rewrite kPa in the base unit

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

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{Pa}& =\frac{1\cancel{\mathrm{Pa}}}{1,000\cancel{\mathrm{Pa}}}\times 1\mathrm{kPa}\\ & =\frac{1}{1,000}\mathrm{kPa}\\ & =0.001\mathrm{kPa}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

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