How to Convert Kilolitre per minute to Decilitre per secondDecilitre per second
1 kl/min = 166.66666666666666 dl/s
1 dl/s = 0.006 kl/min
Example: convert 17 kl/min to dl/s:
17 kl/min = 17 x 166.66666666666666 = 2833.333333333333 dl/s
Kilolitre per minute
Definition: A kilolitre per minute (kl/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate equal to 1,000 liters passing a point in one minute. It represents a medium to large volume of liquid flow over a minute.
History/origin: Similar to kl/s, kl/min is based on the metric unit of the litre and the 'kilo-' prefix. The 'per minute' component specifies the flow rate over a minute. The metric system and its units were standardized to provide consistent measurements in scientific and industrial applications.
Current use: Kl/min is used in scenarios requiring measurement of flow rates in the medium to high range. It is common in municipal water systems, industrial processes, and agricultural irrigation systems.
Decilitre per second
Definition: Deciliters per second (dL/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 deciliters per second.
History/origin: The deciliter (dL) is a derived unit of volume equal to one tenth of a liter (1 dL = 0.1 L). The 'per second' component signifies a flow rate.
Current use: dL/s is not as common as L/s or mL/s. It might be used in some specific industrial applications or in academic settings for experiments involving medium-sized fluid volumes per second.
