What are Kilopascal and KilonewtonPerSquareMeter

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure measurement within the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one thousand pascals, where a pascal is the pressure produced when a force of one newton is applied over an area of one square meter. The kilopascal is commonly used in engineering and atmospheric pressure reporting.

Definition of KilonewtonPerSquareMeter

A kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is an SI unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted when a kilonewton, which is equal to one thousand newtons, is applied over an area of one square meter. This unit is a direct expression of force per unit area and is widely used in structural engineering and construction.
