Convert Centipascal to Kilopascal
Centipascal
A centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.01 pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). The centipascal is used in various scientific and engineering contexts.
The term "centipascal" combines the SI prefix "centi-", representing 0.01, and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to the study of pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "centi-" comes from the Latin word "centum," meaning "hundred." The centipascal is used in contexts where pressures are relatively low.
Kilopascal
The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equal to 1,000 pascals (Pa). Since the pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²), the kilopascal represents a pressure of 1,000 N/m². It is commonly used to measure pressure in applications like weather (atmospheric pressure), engineering (tire pressure, material strength), and medicine (blood pressure). 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa = 1,000 N/m².
The kilopascal derives from the pascal (Pa), which is named after Blaise Pascal (1623–1662), a French mathematician and physicist known for his work in fluid mechanics and pressure. The prefix "kilo-" comes from the Greek word chilioi, meaning a thousand, and is a standard SI prefix denoting a factor of 1,000. The kilopascal is widely used because it is a convenient unit for measuring pressures in the moderate range, where the pascal alone might result in very large numbers.
