Cubic foot per minute
Definition: Cubic feet per minute (ft3/min) is a flow rate unit that measures the volume of fluid or gas passing a point in one minute, measured in cubic feet. It is prevalent in many engineering applications.
History/origin: Like ft3/s, it combines the cubic foot volume unit with a time element, in this case, one minute. This allows a practical assessment of volume flow over a reasonable time.
Current use: It is common in HVAC systems for measuring air flow, pneumatic systems, and industrial processes where controlling gas or fluid volume is crucial.
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.
