How to convert Kilopascals to Pascals
To convert kilopascals to pascals, multiply by 1,000. One kilopascal equals 1,000 Pa, and one pascal equals 0.001 kPa.
- Take the value in kilopascals — for example 7.5 kPa.
- Multiply by 1,000 (the number of pascals in one kilopascal).
- 7.5 × 1,000 = 7,500 Pa.
Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 3 places to the right.

About converting Kilopascals to Pascals
Kilopascals (kPa) and Pascals (Pa) are both units of pressure. The exact factor is 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa, so multiply by 1,000 to go from kilopascals to pascals (or divide to go back).

Real-world pressure in kilopascals and pascals
| Example | Kilopascals | Pascals |
|---|---|---|
| A systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg | 15.9987 kPa | 15,998.7 Pa |
| A pressure cooker's over-pressure (15 psi) | 103.4214 kPa | 103,421.4 Pa |
| The standard atmosphere | 101.325 kPa | 101,325 Pa |
| A typical car tyre (32 psi) | 220.6322 kPa | 220,632.2 Pa |
| An espresso machine (9 bar) | 900 kPa | 900,000 Pa |
| A road-bike tyre (90 psi) | 620.5282 kPa | 620,528.2 Pa |

The units
1,000 pascals.
Used for: Tyre pressure in Canada/Australia, weather and engineering.
The SI unit of pressure: one newton per square metre.
Used for: Science 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.
