Kilolitre per hour [kl/h] to Cubic yard per second [yd3/s] Converter
How to Convert Kilolitre per hour to Cubic yard per second
1 kl/h = 0.00036331926968298603 yd3/s
1 yd3/s = 2752.400115943614 kl/h
Example: convert 10 kl/h to yd3/s:
10 kl/h = 10 x 0.00036331926968298603 = 0.0036331926968298602 yd3/s
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.
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.
