How to Convert Kilolitre per second to Cubic Millimeter per secondCubic Millimeter per second
1 kl/s = 1000000000 mm3/s
1 mm3/s = 9.999999999999999e-10 kl/s
Example: convert 95 kl/s to mm3/s:
95 kl/s = 95 x 1000000000 = 95000000000 mm3/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.
Cubic Millimeter per second
Definition: Cubic millimeters per second (mm³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate, representing the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time. Specifically, it measures the volume in cubic millimeters that flows past a point in one second.
History/origin: This unit is derived from the fundamental SI units of length (meter) and time (second). The cubic millimeter is a derived unit of volume, and combining it with the 'per second' time component creates a flow rate unit.
Current use: mm³/s is used in applications where very small flow rates are relevant, such as microfluidics, precision dispensing systems, or in certain scientific instruments.
