What is a Kilopascal?

The kilopascal (kPa) is a 1000 pascals (Pa). The pascal is a SI unit that measures pressure. Pascal unit is named after Blaise Pascal and it replaced the previously used units for pressure N/m2N/m^2 in SI unit system. Following are equal representation of 1 Kilopascal in other units.
