What are Kilopascal and Atmosphere

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one thousand pascals. Pascals represent a small amount of pressure, with one pascal equating to a force of one newton per square meter. The kilopascal scales this measurement up, making it more practical for everyday use in science, engineering, and meteorology, where pressure readings often exceed a single pascal.

Definition of Atmosphere

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by the weight of air in the Earth's atmosphere at sea level. One atmosphere is equivalent to 101,325 pascals, or roughly the amount of pressure it would take to support a column of mercury 760 millimeters high at 0 degrees Celsius under gravitational force at sea level.
