MPa to kPa converter
1 MPa = 1,000 kPa
And 1 kPa = 0.001 MPa. Megapascal to kilopascal.
Formula
kPa = MPa × 1,000
A reading of 15 MPa is 15 × 1,000 = 15,000 kPa.

About these units
MPa (megapascal): Standard for material strength, hydraulics and pressure vessels; equal to 1 N/mm².
kPa (kilopascal): Common for HVAC, building ventilation and low-pressure gas work.
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.
