Abbreviation for kiloPascal.
Kilopascal; a metric measure of pressure based on force per unit area. (1 kPa = 4.01 inches of water). ( 070)
KiloPascal – a measurement of pressure.
the pressure produced by a force of 1,000 Newtons applied, uniformly distributed, over an area of 1 m2. (Used in textile testing as a measure of bursting pressure; 1 kPa = 6.89 lbf/inch2.)
or kilopascal refers to a unit of pressure. 1 kPa is approximately the pressure exerted by a 10-g mass resting on a 1-cm2 area. 101.3 kPa = 1 atm. There are 1000 pascals in 1 kilopascal.
Metric unit of pressure. 100 Kpa is equivalent to 1 BAR.
the measurement of air pressure used in some ECU computations. Average pressure at sea level is 101.3 kPa.
