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.
Pascal (abbreviations: Pa, or N/m2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one newton per square meter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
How to Convert Kilopascals to Pascals
Example: How many pascals are equivalent to 17.44 kilopascals?
As;
1 kilopascals = 1000 pascals
17.44 kilopascals = Y pascals
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 17.44 times 1000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 17.44 * 1000 / 1 = 17440 pascals
Answer is: 17440 pascals are equivalent to 17.44 kilopascals.
