Convert Pascals to kilopascals
1 pascal = 0.001 kilopascals · kPa = Pa ÷ 1,000
When you need this conversion
This conversion goes from pascals, the SI pressure unit used in engineering, to kilopascals, used on tire placards and in material specifications. Both measure the same physical quantity, so the conversion is exact — the difference is which unit your source, tool, or region happens to use.

The formula
kPa = Pa ÷ 1,000Because both units measure pressure, the conversion is a single multiplication by a fixed factor. That factor never changes, so the result is exact.
