kilopascals
Metric pressure measurement
Kilopascals are units of pressure equal to one thousand pascals, commonly used in meteorology, engineering, and tire pressure measurements outside the United States.
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101 kilopascals.
The forecast showed a low-pressure system at 995 kilopascals.
Abbreviated kPa.
