How to Convert kilopascals to megapascals

Converting kilopascals to megapascals is straightforward. The conversion formula is:

megapascals = kilopascals × 0.001

This means that 1 kilopascal equals 0.001 megapascals. Conversely, 1 megapascal equals 1000 kilopascals.

Example Calculation

To convert 10 kilopascals to megapascals:

10 kPa × 0.001 = 0.01 MPa
