What is Kilopascal?

The kilopascal is a pressure unit equal to 1,000 pascals. It provides more readable numbers for practical engineering work.

Short history of Kilopascal

The kilopascal became common in field measurements and engineering documents where single pascals would be too small for routine reporting.
