kilopascal.
A pascal, one newton per square meter,
is the SI unit of pressure (Pa).

The conversion already exists if you know, that all
you have to do is convert to Pa then divide by 1000
to get kPa.  But if anyone thinks it's worth the trouble
to add it, go right ahead.

I think all you need to do is create 16 new variables of type $13 and
somehow add kPa to the conv menu.

   atm>kPa  =  101.325
   bar>kPa  =  100
  N/m2>kPa  =  .001
lb/in2>kPa  =  6.89475729317
  mmHg>kPa  =  .133322368421
 mmH2O>kPa  =  .00980665
  inHg>kPa  =  3.38638815789
 inH2O>kPa  =  .24908891

kPa>atm     =  .009869232667
kPa>bar     =  .01
kPa>N/m2    =  1000
kPa>lb/in2  =  .14503773773
kPa>mmHg    =  7.50061682704
kPa>mmH2O   =  101.971621298
kPa>inHg    =  .29529987508
kPa>inH2O   =  4.01463075976
