Converting from Kilopascal (kPa) to Newton per Square Meter (N/m²)

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and scientific applications. It is a metric unit that represents a thousand pascals, where 1 kPa is equal to 1000 N/m².

What is Newton per Square Meter (N/m²)

Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) is also a unit of pressure that measures force per unit area. It is the SI unit for pressure and is equivalent to one newton of force applied over a one-square-meter area, where 1 N/m² is equal to 0.001 kPa.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Kilopascal (kPa) to Newton per Square Meter (N/m²), you can use the following formulas:

• To convert from kPa to N/m²: Pressure (N/m²)=Pressure (kPa)×1000
• To convert from N/m² to kPa: Pressure (kPa)=Pressure (N/m²)×0.001

Examples

1. Converting 4 kPa to N/m²: 4 kPa=4×1000=4000 N/m²
2. Converting 14 N/m² to kPa: 14 N/m²=14×0.001=0.014 kPa
3. Converting 11 kPa to N/m²: 11 kPa=11×1000=11000 N/m²

Use this information to perform conversions between Kilopascal (kPa) and Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) easily in your calculations.
