Megapascal to kilopascals Conversion

1 megapascal (MPa) is equal to 1000 kilopascals (kPa).

1 MPa = 1000 kPa

or

1 kPa = 0.001 MPa

Formula

To convert a pressure from megapascal (MPa) to kilopascals (kPa), multiply the pressure in megapascal by 1000

p(kPa) = p(MPa) × 1000

Examples:

Convert 2 megapascal to kilopascals:

p(kPa) = 2MPa × 1000 = 2000 kPa

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert megapascal to kilopascals?

Multiply the value in megapascal by 1000 to get the result in kilopascals. For example, 5 MPa × 1000 = 5000 kPa.

How many kilopascals are in 1 megapascal?

1 megapascal (MPa) is equal to 1000 kilopascals (kPa).

How do I convert kilopascals back to megapascal?

Use the inverse operation: divide the value in kilopascals by 1000 to get the result in megapascal.

How accurate is the megapascal to kilopascals conversion?

The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
