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.
Tonne Per Meter Cube (abbreviations: t/m2, or tpm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength interms of tonne per meter cube.
How to Convert Kilopascals to Tonnes Per Meters Cube
Example: How many tonnes per meters cube are equivalent to 56.66 kilopascals?
As;
1 kilopascals = 0.1 tonnes per meters cube
56.66 kilopascals = Y tonnes per meters cube
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 56.66 times 0.1 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 56.66 * 0.1 / 1 = 5.666 tonnes per meters cube
Answer is: 5.666 tonnes per meters cube are equivalent to 56.66 kilopascals.
