How to Convert Kilolitre per hour to Cubic meter per hourCubic meter per hour
1 kl/h = 1 m3/h
1 m3/h = 1 kl/h
Example: convert 16 kl/h to m3/h:
16 kl/h = 16 x 1 = 16 m3/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.
Cubic meter per hour
Definition: A cubic meter per hour (m3/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one hour. It is used to measure smaller volumes of fluid or gas flow compared to m3/min or m3/s, but over a longer period.
History/origin: Based on the cubic meter as the unit of volume, and 'per hour' denoting the time frame. The unit's creation addresses the need for quantifying lower flow rates in various industrial and environmental applications.
Current use: M3/h is common in heating and cooling systems, small-scale industrial processes, and in monitoring environmental parameters where slower rates of flow are typical. Examples include measuring gas consumption in households, flow rates in chemical processing and measuring the flow of water in heating systems.
