Cubic Centimeter per second [cm3/s] to Kilolitre per second [kl/s] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s) = 1.0000e-6 Kilolitre per second (kl/s)

1 Kilolitre per second (kl/s) = 1000000 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s)

How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Kilolitre per second

1 cm3/s = 1.0000e-6 kl/s
1 kl/s = 1000000 cm3/s

To convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Kilolitre per second, divide the value by 1000000 (equivalently, multiply by 1.0000e-6). To convert Kilolitre per second back to Cubic Centimeter per second, multiply by 1000000.

Example: convert 10 cm3/s to kl/s:
10 cm3/s = 10 x 1.0000e-6 = 1.0000e-5 kl/s

Cubic Centimeter per second

Definition: Cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time. Specifically, it measures the volume in cubic centimeters that flows past a point in one second.

History/origin: Like mm³/s, it's derived from SI units. The cubic centimeter is a derived unit of volume (1 cm³ = 1 mL), and the 'per second' component indicates flow rate.

Current use: cm³/s is a commonly used unit for measuring small to medium flow rates in various scientific, engineering, and medical applications. It's often used interchangeably with milliliters per second (mL/s) since 1 cm³ = 1 mL.

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.
