Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure measurement widely used throughout the world, including Europe and other areas that use the metric system
. One kPa is equal to 1000 Pascals, which is a pressure of one newton per square meter
. The kPa unit is used in scientific and engineering concepts and applications, as well as in most countries around the world
. In contrast, the United States uses pounds per square inch (psi) as the standard tire pressure measurement
