How to convert kilopascals to megapascals
There are 1,000 kilopascals in one megapascal, so divide the number of kilopascals by 1,000.
MPa = kPa ÷ 1,000
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa · 1 MPa = 1,000 kPa
Worked example
To convert 5 kilopascals to megapascals: 5 kPa ÷ 1,000 = 0.005 MPa.
About kilopascals (kPa)
A kilopascal is 1,000 Pa. Tyre pressure is often printed in kPa next to psi.
About megapascals (MPa)
A megapascal is 1,000,000 Pa, used for concrete and steel strength (e.g. M25 concrete = 25 MPa).
