kilopascal

Pressureexact by definition

The kilopascal is exactly 1000 pascals, an exact SI prefix relation. It is the practical unit for weather, tyre pressure, water systems and process work in metric countries. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa, and a typical car tyre runs around 220 kPa gauge.
