1 kl/s = 1.3079493708587497 yd3/s
1 yd3/s = 0.764555587762115 kl/s
Example: convert 53 kl/s to yd3/s:
53 kl/s = 53 x 1.3079493708587497 = 69.32131665551374 yd3/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 yard per second
Definition: A cubic yard per second (yd3/s) is a unit of flow rate representing the volume of material (often liquid or solid) that passes a point in one second, measured in cubic yards. It's used for very high-volume transfers.
History/origin: This unit combines the cubic yard, a larger volume unit, with the second as a time unit, used to measure very high flow volumes.
Current use: It's commonly used in large-scale civil engineering projects, such as dam construction, large earth-moving operations, and massive industrial processes.
