Pressure
kPatoPa
Convert kilopascals (kPa) to pascals (Pa).
Factor1 kPa = 1000 Pa
Converter
kPa
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
Pa
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
Pa = kPa × 1000
Multiply any value in kilopascals by 1000 to obtain the value in pascals.
Worked example
Convert 1 kPa to Pa.
- 01Start with 1 kPa.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 Pa.
Result1 kPa = 1000 Pa

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kPa to Pa?
1 kPa equals 1000 Pa. To convert, multiply the value in kilopascals by 1000.
How do I convert 1 kPa to Pa?
1 kPa = 1000 Pa. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert Pa back to kPa?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 Pa = 0.001 kPa.
When would I need to convert kilopascal to pascal?
Pressure conversions between kPa and Pa are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
