🌬️ kPa → atm
Switch kilopascal readings into atmospheres.
Useful for weather reports, scuba diving tables, and lab calculations that reference absolute pressure.
101.325 kPa equals
1 atm
psi: 14.69595
bar: 1.01325
How to Use This Calculator
Enter kPa
Provide the pressure measurement in kilopascals.
Review atmospheres
The converter divides by 101.325 to show atm.
Check psi & bar
Supporting units help with equipment specs and safety references.
Formula
Atmospheres = kPa ÷ 101.325
psi ≈ kPa × 0.145038
bar = kPa ÷ 100
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Atmospheres provide a familiar reference point for absolute pressure, especially near sea level. Converting kPa to atm is key when verifying weather data, altitude acclimatization, or gas law calculations.
Additional outputs in psi and bar ensure compatibility with equipment labeled in imperial or metric gauge units.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this absolute pressure?
Yes. Both kPa and atm here are treated as absolute units. Adjust for gauge offsets separately.
Can I convert atm back to kPa?
Multiply atm by 101.325, or enter the atm value in the kPa converter.
Does it handle negative values?
Negative pressures represent vacuum relative to reference. The converter processes them mathematically.
Is rounding applied?
