About Converting Kilopascals to Decapascals
Kilopascal and Decapascal both show up on pressure gauges — psi is standard on US tire and tool specifications, while bar is the everyday pressure unit across most of the rest of the world. Specifically: Kilopascal is 1000 pascal units, and decapascal is 10 pascal units.
Formula
decapascals = kilopascals × 100
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kilopascal equals 1000 base units, and 1 decapascal equals 10 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kilopascal-to-decapascal factor of 100.
Simple example
1 kPa × 100 = 100 daPa
1 kilopascal = 100 decapascals.
Real-world example
35 kPa × 100 = 3,500 daPa
35 kilopascals = 3,500 decapascals.

Frequently asked questions
How many decapascals are in 1 kilopascal?
1 kilopascal equals 100 decapascals, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kilopascal to decapascal?
Multiply the kilopascal value by 100. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert decapascal back to kilopascal?
Use the reverse factor: 1 decapascal equals 0.01 kilopascals. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kilopascal?
Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure.
What is a decapascal?
Decapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure.
Is the kilopascal to decapascal conversion exact?
Yes. Both kilopascal and decapascal are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 100 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
