How to Convert Kilolitre per hour to Litre per hourLitre per hour
1 kl/h = 1000 l/h
1 l/h = 0.001 kl/h
Example: convert 55 kl/h to l/h:
55 kl/h = 55 x 1000 = 55000 l/h
Kilolitre per hour
Definition: A kilolitre per hour (kl/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate equal to 1,000 liters passing a point in one hour. It is used to measure relatively smaller volumes of liquid flow compared to kl/min or kl/s, but over a longer period.
History/origin: The unit stems from the litre, with 'kilo-' indicating 1000 litres. 'Per hour' denotes the flow rate over an hour. The development aligns with the need for standardised units to measure and control fluid transfer in various applications.
Current use: Kl/h is typically used in industrial processes, water treatment plants, and environmental monitoring where flow rates are lower and measured over longer durations. For example, measuring the flow rate of water in a small treatment plant or the flow rate of chemicals in a production line.
Litre per hour
Definition: Liters per hour (L/h) 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 liters per hour.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Using 'per hour' provides a convenient timescale for processes that involve slower flow rates.
Current use: L/h is used for measuring very slow flow rates, such as in drip irrigation systems, chemical dosing, or water purification processes.
