What are Millipascal and Kilopascal

Definition of Millipascal

A millipascal (mPa) is a metric unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal. It is a small measure commonly used in scientific contexts. The pascal, named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, is a standard unit of pressure in the International System of Units. As such, a millipascal is used when high precision of pressure measurement is required, especially in lower pressure ranges.

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system equivalent to one thousand pascals. It is widely used in engineering, construction, and meteorology. The pascal (Pa), which is the SI unit for pressure, is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal, known for his contributions to fluid mechanics and hydrodynamics. Kilopascals are commonly used for expressing atmospheric pressure, material stress and stiffness, and in various scientific contexts.

Millipascal to Kilopascal Conversion Table

Conversion of Millipascal to Kilopascal

1 MPa = 1000 kPa
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa

Example 1:
Convert 2 MPa to kPa:
2 MPa = 2 × 1000 kPa = 2000 kPa

Example 2:
Convert 0.5 MPa to kPa:
0.5 MPa = 0.5 × 1000 kPa = 500 kPa

History of Millipascal and Kilopascal

A brief history of the Millipascal to Kilopascal Converter reveals its origins in the scientific need for accurate pressure measurements. The development of the converter stemmed from the adoption of the pascal as the SI unit for pressure, leading to the use of its multiples and submultiples, including millipascals and kilopascals, in various fields of engineering and science.
