Illustration of a CO2 cartridge
408 psi (2,810 kPa) is comparable to the pressure inside a CO₂ cartridge or small gas cylinder.

Did you know? CO2 cartridge is 3,000 kPa.

Small CO2 cartridges (for soda makers, paintball) operate at about 3,000 kPa (435 psi) at room temperature.

How to Convert MPa to KPa

1 MPa = 1000 kPa

KPa = MPa × 1000

Example: 2.81 MPa × 1000 = 2810 kPa

Reverse Conversion

To convert kPa back to MPa:

  • Remember, 1 kPa equals 0.001 MPa.
  • To convert 2810 kPa to MPa, multiply 2810 x 0.001, resulting in 2.81 MPa.

2.81 MPa is also equal to:

  • 2810000 pascal
  • 28.1 bar
  • 407.56 psi
About these units
