kPa

It only changes in increments of .03 kPa or less in a 15-minute interval, and the weather data is only measured in .01 kPa increments.

My design addresses the issues of allowing maximum mobility/flexibility and providing (relatively) high-pressure (1/3 atm. or 30 kPa) through MCP, or directly applying the pressure to the skin, or body.

The equivalence of its partial pressure in Kilopascals is: 0.00034 atm*m = 0.0344505 kPa.

Unthreaded #19 « Climate Audit 2007

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is equal to 101.3 kPa.

Pressure 2007

Usual ship design allows for rounded storm waves up to 15 m and pressures around 15 tonnes/m2 147 kPa without damage, and up to twice that if some deformation is allowed for, which is about a wave of twenty metres.

The Speculist: May 2006 Archives 2006

Such waves were said to consist of an almost vertical wall of water preceded by a trough so deep that it was referred to as a "hole in the sea"; a ship encountering a wave of such magnitude would be unlikely to survive the tremendous pressures of up to 100 tonnes/m2 980 kPa exerted by the weight of the breaking water, and would almost certainly be sunk in a matter of seconds.

Scientists often use the kilopascal (kPa) as their preferred unit for measuring pressure. 1 kilopascal is equal to 10 millibars.

When two rods of graphite are heated to a high temperature by an electric arc discharge in an atmosphere of helium at a pressure of 13 kPa the graphite rods are slowly consumed and soot is formed.
