Calculate pressure from the force applied and the area it acts over, in pascals and kilopascals. Enter force and area to see pressure and in kilopascals when you calculate.
Worked example
Example calculated from the starting values. Enter your own values and press Calculate to get your result.
With the default inputs (force = 600 N, area = 0.25 m²), the results are: pressure 2,400.0 Pa; in kilopascals 2.400 kPa.
Quick reference: force vs result
Reference table based on the example values; it is not your calculation result.
| Force (N) | Pressure | In kilopascals |
|---|---|---|
| 300 | 1,200.0 Pa | 1.200 kPa |
| 600 | 2,400.0 Pa | 2.400 kPa |
| 1,200 | 4,800.0 Pa | 4.800 kPa |
| 3,000 | 12,000.0 Pa | 12.000 kPa |
| 6,000 | 24,000.0 Pa | 24.000 kPa |
| 12,000 | 48,000.0 Pa | 48.000 kPa |
Frequently asked questions
What formula does this calculator use?
Pressure = f ÷ a; In kilopascals = f ÷ a ÷ 1000. Variables: f = force in N, a = area in m².
What do I need to enter?
You need force (N), area (m²). Results update as you type.
What is an example result?
With the default inputs (force = 600 N, area = 0.25 m²), the results are: pressure 2,400.0 Pa; in kilopascals 2.400 kPa.
