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