How to convert megapascals to kilopascals

1 megapascals (MPa) is equal to 1000 kilopascals (kPa). Conversely, 1 kilopascals (kPa) is equal to 1×10^-3 megapascals (MPa).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the kilopascals to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert megapascals to kilopascals

Convert base units

For this conversion, we simply use the metric prefix conversion to convert mega to kilo.

1\ MPa = 10^{3}\ kPa

You can refer to Pascal wikipedia article for more conversions of Pascals.

What is a Megapascal?

The megapascal (MPa) is a 1,000,000 pascals (Pa). The pascal is a SI unit that measures pressure. Pascal unit is named after Blaise Pascal and it replaced the previously used units for pressure $N/m^2$ in SI unit system. Following are equal representation of 1 Megapascal in other units.

1\ MPa = \frac{1000 * 1000 *N}{m^2} = \frac{1000 * 1000 *kg}{m*s^2} = \frac{1000 * 1000 *J}{m^3}

Where
$N - Newtons$
$kg - Kilograms$
$m - Meters$
$s - Seconds$
$J - Jules$
