Vacuum
kPatomPa
Convert kilopascals (vacuum) (kPa) to millipascals (vacuum) (mPa).
Factor1 kPa = 1000000 mPa
Converter
kPa
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
mPa
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
mPa = kPa × 1000000
Multiply any value in kilopascals (vacuum) by 1000000 to obtain the value in millipascals (vacuum).
Worked example
Convert 1 kPa to mPa.
- 01Start with 1 kPa.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 mPa.
Result1 kPa = 1.00000e+6 mPa

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kPa to mPa?
1 kPa equals 1000000 mPa. To convert, multiply the value in kilopascals (vacuum) by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 kPa to mPa?
1 kPa = 1.00000e+6 mPa. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert mPa back to kPa?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 mPa = 1e-6 kPa.
When would I need to convert kilopascal (vacuum) to millipascal (vacuum)?
Vacuum-pressure conversions between kPa and mPa are common in vacuum-chamber instrumentation, pump-down endpoint specification, semiconductor and deposition process work, freeze-drying, electron-microscopy column pressure, vacuum metallurgy and HVAC / refrigeration service. Torr, mmHg and inHg dominate manometric vacuum gauges; mbar is standard on European instruments; micron Hg and mTorr cover high-vacuum work; Pa and kPa are the SI references. This category is vacuum / instrumentation intent — dimensionally the same as pressure, but kept separate so process-pressure searches and vacuum searches stay on the right page.
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).
