How to convert Pascals to Kilopascals
To convert pascals to kilopascals, multiply by 0.001. One pascal equals 0.001 kPa, and one kilopascal equals 1,000 Pa.
- Take the value in pascals — for example 7.5 Pa.
- Multiply by 0.001 (the number of kilopascals in one pascal).
- 7.5 × 0.001 = 0.0075 kPa.
Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

About converting Pascals to Kilopascals
Pascals (Pa) and Kilopascals (kPa) are both units of pressure. The exact factor is 1 Pa = 0.001 kPa, so multiply by 0.001 to go from pascals to kilopascals (or divide to go back).

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

The units
The SI unit of pressure: one newton per square metre.
Used for: Science and engineering.
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.
