What is the conversion factor from pascal to kilopascal?

One pascal equals 0.001 kilopascal, meaning you multiply pascal values by 0.001 to convert to kilopascal.

Why convert pascal to kilopascal?

Converting to kilopascal expresses pressure in a larger unit, reducing the number of digits and simplifying everyday pressure measurements.

In which fields is this conversion most used?

This conversion is widely applied in meteorology, engineering (hydraulics and pneumatics), HVAC system design, and material testing laboratories.
