Convert Megapascals to Kilopascals (MPa to kPa)

1 MPa = 1000 kPa. Convert megapascals to kilopascals with the exact factor, a common-values table and a free converter.

Conversion factor

kPa = MPa × 1000

1 MPa = 1000 kPa

Multiply by 1000 kPa to go from megapascals to kilopascals, 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.

Frequently asked questions

How many kilopascals are in one megapascal?

One megapascal is 1000 kPa, so 100 MPa is 100000 kPa.

What is the formula to convert megapascals to kilopascals?

kPa = MPa × 1000. Multiply the value in megapascals by 1000 to get kilopascals.

How do I convert kilopascals back to megapascals?

MPa = kPa × 0.001, so 1 kPa is 0.001 MPa. The kPa to MPa page carries the same table in that direction.
