Kilopascal (abbreviations: kPa, or kN/m2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one kilonewton per square meter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
Atmosphere (abbreviation: atm): is a unit of standard pressure, equal to 101325 Pa, or 1.01325 bar.
How to Convert Kilopascals to Atmospheres
Example: How many Atmospheres are equivalent to 66.78 kilopascals?
As;
1 kilopascals = 0.00987 Atmospheres
66.78 kilopascals = Y Atmospheres
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 66.78 times 0.00987 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 66.78 * 0.00987 / 1 = 0.6591186 Atmospheres
Answer is: 0.6591186 Atmospheres are equivalent to 66.78 kilopascals.
