Centilitre per second [cl/s] to Kilolitre per second [kl/s] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Centilitre per second (cl/s) = 1.0000e-5 Kilolitre per second (kl/s)

1 Kilolitre per second (kl/s) = 100000 Centilitre per second (cl/s)

How to Convert Centilitre per second to Kilolitre per second

1 cl/s = 1.0000e-5 kl/s
1 kl/s = 100000 cl/s

To convert Centilitre per second to Kilolitre per second, divide the value by 100000 (equivalently, multiply by 1.0000e-5). To convert Kilolitre per second back to Centilitre per second, multiply by 100000.

Example: convert 10 cl/s to kl/s:
10 cl/s = 10 x 1.0000e-5 = 0.0001 kl/s

↔ Convert Kilolitre per second to Centilitre per second

Centilitre per second

Definition: Centiliters per second (cL/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 centiliters per second.

History/origin: The centiliter (cL) is a derived unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter (1 cL = 0.01 L). The 'per second' component signifies a flow rate.

Current use: cL/s is less commonly used than mL/s or L/s, but it can be convenient in certain applications where the flow rates fall within a specific range, often in chemistry or certain food processing contexts.

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.
