Convert Cubic yards per second to Kilolitres per hour
Convert Cubic yards per second (yd³/s) to Kilolitres per hour (kL/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/h = yd³/s × 2752.397489
About Cubic yards per second
The cubic yard per second (yd³/s) equals 0.764554857984 m³/s, a large unit used in US civil engineering for river flood-stage measurements and reservoir emergency-spillway capacity. A major dam spillway releasing water at 1 000 yd³/s could drain an Olympic pool in about 3 seconds. 1 yd³/s = 0.764554857984 m³/s ≈ 764.555 L/s ≈ 27 ft³/s.
About Kilolitres per hour
The kilolitre per hour (kL/h) equals 1/3600 m³/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ m³/s, identical to m³/h. It is used interchangeably with m³/h in Australian, New Zealand, and South African process-engineering practice. Pump datasheets from these markets quote capacity in kL/h; water-meter billing in rural areas uses kL/h for irrigation allocation. 1 kL/h = 1 m³/h = 1 000 L/h.
