Convert Cubic inches per minute to Kilolitres per second
Convert Cubic inches per minute (in³/min) to Kilolitres per second (kL/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/s = in³/min × 2.731177333e-7
About Cubic inches per minute
The cubic inch per minute (in³/min) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵/60 ≈ 2.731×10⁻⁷ m³/s, common in US pneumatic and hydraulic circuit design. Air-tool consumption is rated in SCIM (standard cubic inches per minute); small hydraulic cylinders advancing at 10 in/min with 1 in² bore consume 10 in³/min: exactly 0.163 mL/s. 1 in³/min ≈ 2.731×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
About Kilolitres per second
The kilolitre per second (kL/s) equals 1 m³/s, so 1 kL/s is identical to 1 m³/s. The term kilolitre is favoured in Australian and South African engineering over the equivalent cubic metre per second. Municipal water-main flow and stormwater-channel capacity are sometimes expressed in kL/s in these countries. 1 kL/s = 1 m³/s = 1 000 L/s ≈ 15 850 US gal/min.
