Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kilopascals to atmospheres is dividing the pressure in kpa by 101.325 because 1 atm equals 101.325 kpa. This works because it directly compares the pressure in kpa to the standard atmospheric pressure, giving the equivalent in atm.
For example, to convert 50 kpa to atm:
- Divide 50 by 101.325.
- 50 / 101.325 ≈ 0.4937 atm.
Conversion Example
- Convert 150 kpa to atm:
- Divide 150 by 101.325.
- 150 / 101.325 ≈ 1.48 atm.
- Convert 73 kpa to atm:
- Divide 73 by 101.325.
- 73 / 101.325 ≈ 0.7205 atm.
- Convert 123 kpa to atm:
- Divide 123 by 101.325.
- 123 / 101.325 ≈ 1.2133 atm.
