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 29.7 kilopascals?
As;
1 kilopascals = 0.1 tonnes per meters cube
29.7 kilopascals = Y tonnes per meters cube
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 29.7 times 0.1 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 29.7 * 0.1 / 1 = 2.97 tonnes per meters cube
Answer is: 2.97 tonnes per meters cube are equivalent to 29.7 kilopascals.
