How to convert Atmospheres to Kilopascals
To convert atmospheres to kilopascals, multiply by 101.325. One atmosphere equals 101.325 kPa, and one kilopascal equals 0.00986923 atm.
- Take the value in atmospheres — for example 7.5 atm.
- Multiply by 101.325 (the number of kilopascals in one atmosphere).
- 7.5 × 101.325 = 759.9375 kPa.
Quick mental estimate: Multiply the number of atmospheres by 101 (within 0.3% of the exact answer).

About converting Atmospheres to Kilopascals
Atmospheres (atm) and Kilopascals (kPa) are both units of pressure. The exact factor is 1 atm = 101.325 kPa, so multiply by 101.325 to go from atmospheres to kilopascals (or divide to go back).
The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Need the reverse? Use the Kilopascals to Atmospheres converter, or the full unit converter for every unit at once.
Real-world pressure in atmospheres and kilopascals
| Example | Atmospheres | Kilopascals |
|---|---|---|
| A systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg | 0.157895 atm | 15.9987 kPa |
| A pressure cooker's over-pressure (15 psi) | 1.020689 atm | 103.4214 kPa |
| The standard atmosphere | 1 atm | 101.325 kPa |
| A typical car tyre (32 psi) | 2.177471 atm | 220.6322 kPa |
| An espresso machine (9 bar) | 8.882309 atm | 900 kPa |
| A road-bike tyre (90 psi) | 6.124137 atm | 620.5282 kPa |
| A scuba cylinder (200 bar) | 197.3847 atm | 20,000 kPa |

The units
The standard atmosphere: exactly 101,325 Pa, average sea-level air pressure.
Used for: Chemistry, diving and physics.
1,000 pascals.
Used for: Tyre pressure in Canada/Australia, weather and engineering.
The bar (100,000 Pa) and the standard atmosphere (101,325 Pa) are exact; psi is derived from the pound-force and the inch, so its factor is a rounded value of an exact fraction.
