The kPa-kilopascal is the unit of pressure. It was named after Blaise Pascal, a mathematician and physicist.
The kPa is 1000Pa. Kilo stands for 1000. Now what is a pascal?
A pascal is the amount of force (Newton) exerted per unit area.
1Pa = 1Nm⁻²
At the standard atmospheric level, the pressure is 101.325 x 10³ Nm⁻² i. e the atmosphere exerts a pressure of 101.325 x 10³N in an area of a body.
This unit is used to calculate pressure. It can be converted to other units.
