What is the conversion rate between kilonewton/square meter and dekapascal?

1 Kilonewton/square meter equals 100 Dekapascal [daPa].

In which fields is converting kN/m² to daPa commonly used?

It is used in building design, geotechnical engineering, audiology, HVAC diagnostics, and sensor calibration.

Why might dekapascal values be large when converted from kilonewton/square meter?

Because 1 kN/m² equals 100 daPa, so conversion multiplies values by 100, increasing number size.
