How to Convert Centilitre per second to Kilolitre per secondKilolitre per second
1 cl/s = 0.00001 kl/s
1 kl/s = 100000 cl/s
Example: convert 91 cl/s to kl/s:
91 cl/s = 91 x 0.00001 = 0.0009100000000000001 kl/s
Centilitre per second
Definition: Centiliters per second (cL/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in centiliters per second.
History/origin: The centiliter (cL) is a derived unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter (1 cL = 0.01 L). The 'per second' component signifies a flow rate.
Current use: cL/s is less commonly used than mL/s or L/s, but it can be convenient in certain applications where the flow rates fall within a specific range, often in chemistry or certain food processing contexts.
Kilolitre per second
Definition: A kilolitre per second (kl/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate equal to 1,000 liters passing a point in one second. It is used to measure large volumes of liquid flow.
History/origin: The kilolitre is a metric unit of volume, derived from the litre (symbol: L), with the prefix 'kilo-' indicating a factor of 1000. The 'per second' component indicates a rate of flow over time, making the unit suitable for flow rate measurements. Its origin is directly tied to the establishment of the metric system in France in the late 18th century.
Current use: Kl/s is used in industrial processes, water management, and large-scale fluid transfer applications where quantifying high flow rates is necessary. Examples include measuring water flow in large pipelines, industrial coolant systems, and discharge rates from reservoirs.
