1. 1 Pa × 1 = 1 Pa
2. 1 Pa ÷ 1000 = 0.001 kPa

Unit Information

Pascal (Pa)

The pascal is the SI unit of pressure. It is defined as one newton per square meter. It is used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength.

Kilopascal (kPa)

The kilopascal is a unit of pressure equal to 1000 pascals. It is commonly used in meteorology, engineering, and industrial applications where higher pressure measurements are needed.
