Formula: Megapascal = Kilopascal × 0.001
Example: 1 kPa = 0.001 MPa
You can also use the interactive converter above. Simply enter any Kilopascal value and the equivalent Megapascal value will appear instantly. Click the ⇄ button to reverse the conversion.
Beyond the calculator above, it helps to understand what these two units actually represent and where you will run into them in everyday life.
Step-by-step example — Convert 50 kPa to MPa:
A Kilopascal (kPa) equals 1,000 pascals and is commonly used for everyday pressure readings like tire pressure.
A Megapascal (MPa) equals 1,000,000 pascals, used for rating the strength of materials like concrete and steel.
The formula is: Megapascal = Kilopascal x 0.001. Multiply any Kilopascal value by 0.001 to get the equivalent in Megapascal.
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa.
1 MPa = 1000 kPa.
Kilopascal is smaller than Megapascal. 1 Megapascal = 1000 kPa.
200 kPa = 0.2 MPa.
5 MPa = 5,000 kPa.
Kilopascals appear on weather maps for barometric pressure, on tyre pressure gauges in some countries, and on medical equipment that measures blood or intracranial pressure.
