Convert Kilopascals to Megapascals (kPa to MPa)
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa. Convert kilopascals to megapascals with the exact factor, a common-values table and a free converter.
Conversion factor
MPa = kPa × 0.001
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa
Multiply by 0.001 MPa to go from kilopascals to megapascals, or divide by it to come back. The factor and every value below are computed by the same converter that runs at /convert, so this page and the tool cannot disagree.
kPa to MPa table
| Kilopascals (kPa) | Megapascals (MPa) |
|---|---|
| 1 kPa | 0.001 MPa |
| 2 kPa | 0.002 MPa |
| 5 kPa | 0.005 MPa |
| 10 kPa | 0.01 MPa |
| 20 kPa | 0.02 MPa |
| 50 kPa | 0.05 MPa |
| 100 kPa | 0.1 MPa |
Every figure is computed at build time by the site’s own converter from the pressure unit registry. For a value that is not listed, put it into the interactive converter.
Frequently asked questions
How many megapascals are in one kilopascal?
One kilopascal is 0.001 MPa, so 100 kPa is 0.1 MPa.
What is the formula to convert kilopascals to megapascals?
MPa = kPa × 0.001. Multiply the value in kilopascals by 0.001 to get megapascals.
How do I convert megapascals back to kilopascals?
kPa = MPa × 1000, so 1 MPa is 1000 kPa. The MPa to kPa page carries the same table in that direction.
