Unit Information

Kilopascal (kPa)

Definition

The kilopascal (symbol: kPa) is a decimal multiple of the pascal, the SI unit of pressure. One kPa is equal to 1,000 pascals.

Current Use

The kilopascal is a common unit of pressure in many countries, used for measuring tire pressure, fluid pressure, and air pressure in various technical applications.

Megapascal (MPa)

Definition

The megapascal (symbol: MPa) is a decimal multiple of the pascal. One MPa is equal to 1,000,000 pascals.

Current Use

The megapascal is commonly used in engineering and materials science to measure high pressures, such as structural stresses or the strength of materials like concrete and steel.
