The conversion of 101 kpa equals approximately 0.998 atm.
Since 1 kilopascal (kpa) equals about 0.00987 atmospheres (atm), multiplying 101 kpa by this factor gives the atm value. This relationship is based on the fact that 1 atm equals exactly 101.325 kpa, so dividing the kpa value by 101.325 yields the atm result.
Conversion Result
101 kpa is roughly 0.998 atm, indicating that the pressure slightly less than one atmosphere.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kpa to atm is dividing the kpa value by 101.325 because 1 atm equals exactly 101.325 kpa. This works because the pressure in atm is proportional to the pressure in kpa, with the conversion factor being 1/101.325. For example, converting 101 kpa:
- Divide 101 by 101.325
- Result: 101 / 101.325 ≈ 0.998 atm
This method ensures accurate conversion because it uses the fixed relation between the units.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50 kpa to atm:
- Divide 50 by 101.325
- 50 / 101.325 ≈ 0.494 atm
- Convert 200 kpa to atm:
- Divide 200 by 101.325
- 200 / 101.325 ≈ 1.974 atm
- Convert 75 kpa to atm:
- Divide 75 by 101.325
- 75 / 101.325 ≈ 0.740 atm
- Convert 150 kpa to atm:
- Divide 150 by 101.325
- 150 / 101.325 ≈ 1.481 atm
- Convert 120 kpa to atm:
- Divide 120 by 101.325
- 120 / 101.325 ≈ 1.184 atm

Conversion Definitions
kpa
Kilopascal (kpa) is a metric unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, used to measure force per unit area, commonly in engineering and weather reports, representing pressure exerted on a surface, with 1 kpa roughly equivalent to 0.145 pounds per square inch.
atm
Atmosphere (atm) is a standard unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by Earth’s atmosphere at sea level, exactly 101,325 pascals, used as a reference point for pressure measurements, especially in science and engineering contexts.
Conversion FAQs
What is the easiest way to convert 101 kpa to atm?
The simplest method is dividing the kpa value by 101.325 since 1 atm equals 101.325 kpa, so 101 kpa divided by 101.325 gives approximately 0.998 atm.
Why does dividing by 101.325 convert kpa to atm?
This division works because 101.325 kpa is exactly 1 atm; thus, dividing any pressure in kpa by 101.325 gives the equivalent pressure in atm, based on the proportional relationship between the units.
Can I use an online calculator for quick conversion?
Yes, inputting the kpa value into a calculator that divides by 101.325 quickly provides the atm value, saving time and reducing errors in manual calculations.
Is 101 kpa close to standard atmospheric pressure?
Yes, 101 kpa is very close to 1 atm, which is 101.325 kpa, making 101 kpa just slightly below standard atmospheric pressure at sea level.
