kPa to MPa converter
1 kPa = 0.001 MPa
And 1 MPa = 1,000 kPa. Kilopascal to megapascal.
Formula
MPa = kPa × 0.001
A reading of 15 kPa is 15 × 0.001 = 0.015 MPa.

About these units
kPa (kilopascal): Common for HVAC, building ventilation and low-pressure gas work.
MPa (megapascal): Standard for material strength, hydraulics and pressure vessels; equal to 1 N/mm².
Gauge pressure (psig, barg) is measured relative to the surrounding atmosphere; absolute pressure (psia, bara) is relative to vacuum. Converting units never changes that reference: absolute = gauge + about 14.696 psi (1.01325 bar) at sea level. Stress uses the same units: 1 MPa = 1 N/mm².
