What is the relation between kilopascal and petapascal?

One kilopascal (kPa) equals 1e-12 petapascal (PPa), reflecting the vast difference in their magnitudes.

In which fields is converting kPa to PPa especially useful?

It is particularly helpful in scientific research areas like astrophysics and high-energy physics, where extreme pressures are modeled.

Why are petapascal values often expressed using scientific notation?

Because petapascal represents extremely large pressures, converting from kilopascal results in very small values best shown in scientific notation.
