How to Convert Kilolitre per minute to Cubic meter per secondCubic meter per second
1 kl/min = 0.016666666666666666 m3/s
1 m3/s = 59.99999999999999 kl/min
Example: convert 19 kl/min to m3/s:
19 kl/min = 19 x 0.016666666666666666 = 0.31666666666666665 m3/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.
Cubic meter per second
Definition: A cubic meter per second (m3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure very large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The cubic meter is a metric unit derived from the meter, a fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). 'Per second' indicates the rate of flow. Its origins lie in the development of standardized metric units for scientific and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/s is commonly used in hydrology (river flow measurement), large-scale industrial processes, and in the operation of hydroelectric power plants where the movement of large volumes of water is critical.
