Kilopascals

The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to exactly 1,000 pascals and is one of the most practical pressure units for everyday engineering. Standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 101.3 kPa. Tyre pressure is commonly specified in kPa in metric countries: a typical car tyre is inflated to 220–250 kPa. Blood pressure in clinical settings is measured in mmHg, but some medical devices express it in kPa (normal systolic ≈ 16 kPa).

Pascals

The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square metre (N/m²), named after French mathematician Blaise Pascal who studied fluid pressure in the 17th century. Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101,325 Pa (101.3 kPa). The pascal is a small unit for everyday use — a gentle breeze exerts approximately 1 Pa of dynamic pressure — so kilopascals (kPa) and megapascals (MPa) are more common in practical engineering contexts.
