Question: are kpa and kn the same?
Answer: You are currently converting Pressure units from Kilopascal to Kilonewton/Square Meter. Kilopascal : The kilopascal (symbol:kPa) is a non-SI unit for pressure, and is a x1000 multiple of the Pascal unit. 1 kPa equals 1000 Pa. ... 1 Newton per square meter equals 1 Pascal, therefore, 1 kN/m2 =1000 Pa.
