kilopascal to megapascal
Please provide values below to convert kilopascal [kPa] to megapascal [MPa], or change ↔.
kilopascal [kPa]
Definition: A derived unit of pressure, equal to one thousand pascals (1 kPa = 1000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The kilopascal is commonly used for everyday pressure measurements, especially in meteorology and engineering.
CurrentUse: Used for measuring atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and other common pressure-related applications.
funfact: A standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101.325 kPa!
megapascal [MPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to one million pascals (1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The megapascal is frequently used in high-pressure industries like engineering and material science.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in the testing of materials, particularly in the strength of metals and other structural components.
funfact: The strength of steel is often measured in megapascals!

How to Convert kilopascal to megapascal
1 kilopascal [kPa] = 1000 megapascal [MPa]
1 megapascal [MPa] = 0.001 kilopascal [kPa]
we use cross multiplication method
kilopascal [kPa] → megapascal [MPa]
1 → 1000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1000=1*x
by simplifying
x=1500
