Litre per minute [l/min] to Kilolitre per second [kl/s] Converter
How to Convert Litre per minute to Kilolitre per second
1 l/min = 0.000016666666666666667 kl/s
1 kl/s = 60000 l/min
Example: convert 10 l/min to kl/s:
10 l/min = 10 x 0.000016666666666666667 = 0.0001666666666666667 kl/s
Litre per minute
Definition: Liters per minute (L/min) 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 liters per minute.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Using 'per minute' provides a convenient timescale for many practical applications.
Current use: L/min is a very common unit for measuring fluid flow rates in diverse applications, including medical equipment (e.g., oxygen concentrators), automotive systems, and home appliances (e.g., water softeners).
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.
