How to Convert Kilolitre per second to Millilitre per secondMillilitre per second
1 kl/s = 1000000 ml/s
1 ml/s = 0.000001 kl/s
Example: convert 89 kl/s to ml/s:
89 kl/s = 89 x 1000000 = 89000000 ml/s
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.
Millilitre per second
Definition: Milliliters per second (mL/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 milliliters per second.
History/origin: The milliliter (mL) is a derived unit of volume equal to one cubic centimeter (cm³). The 'per second' component signifies a flow rate.
Current use: mL/s is widely used in medical applications (e.g., infusion rates), laboratory experiments, and various industrial processes where flow rates are in the range of milliliters per second. It's essentially equivalent to cm³/s.
