How to Convert Cubic meter per minute to Kilolitre per hourKilolitre per hour
1 m3/min = 60 kl/h
1 kl/h = 0.016666666666666666 m3/min
Example: convert 52 m3/min to kl/h:
52 m3/min = 52 x 60 = 3120 kl/h
Cubic meter per minute
Definition: A cubic meter per minute (m3/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate indicating one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one minute. It measures medium to large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: Derived from the cubic meter, the SI unit for volume. 'Per minute' specifies the rate of flow. This unit became important with the increasing need for accurate measurement and control of fluids and gasses in industrial and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/min is employed in ventilation systems, industrial processes involving moderate fluid or gas flow, and in measuring the output of pumps and compressors. It is also used to quantify the flow of air in HVAC systems and the flow of fluids in manufacturing processes.
Kilolitre per hour
Definition: A kilolitre per hour (kl/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate equal to 1,000 liters passing a point in one hour. It is used to measure relatively smaller volumes of liquid flow compared to kl/min or kl/s, but over a longer period.
History/origin: The unit stems from the litre, with 'kilo-' indicating 1000 litres. 'Per hour' denotes the flow rate over an hour. The development aligns with the need for standardised units to measure and control fluid transfer in various applications.
Current use: Kl/h is typically used in industrial processes, water treatment plants, and environmental monitoring where flow rates are lower and measured over longer durations. For example, measuring the flow rate of water in a small treatment plant or the flow rate of chemicals in a production line.
