millibar to kilopascal
Please provide values below to convert millibar [mbar] to kilopascal [kPa], or change ↔.
millibar [mbar]
Definition: A unit of pressure equivalent to one-thousandth of a bar, often used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
Historyandorigin: The millibar was historically used as a unit of atmospheric pressure before the widespread adoption of the pascal.
CurrentUse: Still commonly used in meteorology, particularly for weather maps and forecasts.
funfact: The millibar is typically used in weather forecasts, but the pascal is becoming more common in scientific contexts!
kilopascal [kPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, commonly used in weather and engineering.
Historyandorigin: The kilopascal is a common multiple of the pascal, introduced to handle pressure values in a more manageable range.
CurrentUse: Widely used in meteorology for atmospheric pressure and in engineering for systems under moderate pressure.
funfact: Weather reports often use kilopascals to measure atmospheric pressure, particularly in regions where the pascal is too small a unit!

How to Convert millibar to kilopascal
1 millibar [mbar] = 0.001 kilopascal [kPa]
1 kilopascal [kPa] = 1000 millibar [mbar]
we use cross multiplication method
millibar [mbar] → kilopascal [kPa]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
