How to Convert Atmospheres to Kilopascals
Converting atmospheres (atm) to kilopascals (kPa) is a common conversion. One standard atmosphere is equal to 101.325 kilopascals.
Formula
Kilopascals = Atmospheres × 101.325
or
kPa = atm × 101.325
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in atmospheres
- Multiply that number by 101.325
- The result is the equivalent amount in kilopascals
Examples
- 1 atm = 101.325 kPa
- 0.00986923 atm = 1 kPa
- 0.5 atm = 50.6625 kPa
When to Convert Atmospheres to Kilopascals
This conversion is commonly used in meteorology, aviation, and various scientific fields to express pressure relative to standard atmospheric pressure.
