Converting from Kilopascal (kPa) to Millibar (mbar) in Pressure

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure commonly used in scientific and engineering applications. It is equal to one thousand pascals, where 1 pascal is defined as 1 newton of force per square meter of area.

What is Millibar (mbar)

Millibar (mbar) is another unit of pressure commonly used in meteorology and atmospheric science. It is equal to one thousandth of a bar, where 1 bar is approximately equal to atmospheric pressure at sea level.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Kilopascal (kPa) to Millibar (mbar):

kPa=mbar×10

To convert from Millibar (mbar) to Kilopascal (kPa):

mbar=kPa×0.1

Examples

• Converting 3 kPa to mbar:

3kPa=3×10=30mbar

• Converting 25 mbar to kPa:

25mbar=25×0.1=2.5kPa

• Converting 8 kPa to mbar:

8kPa=8×10=80mbar

• Converting 15 mbar to kPa:

15mbar=15×0.1=1.5kPa
