1 kl/s = 78.476962251525 yd3/min
1 yd3/min = 0.012742593129368584 kl/s
Example: convert 80 kl/s to yd3/min:
80 kl/s = 80 x 78.476962251525 = 6278.156980121999 yd3/min
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 yard per minute
Definition: Cubic yards per minute (yd3/min) is a flow rate unit specifying the volume of material (liquid or solid) passing a point in one minute, measured in cubic yards. It's suitable for substantial, but not extremely rapid, volume transfers.
History/origin: Like yd3/s, it is based on the cubic yard volume unit. The minute time frame provides a more practical interval for volume rate assessment.
Current use: It's used in mining operations, concrete pouring for large structures, and industrial processes involving substantial material transfer.
