Convert Kilolitres per hour to Cubic feet per second
Convert Kilolitres per hour (kL/h) to Cubic feet per second (ft³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/s = kL/h × 0.009809629645
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.
About Cubic feet per second
The cubic foot per second (ft³/s or cfs) equals 0.028316846592 m³/s, the primary unit for measuring river discharge and open-channel flow in the United States. The US Geological Survey publishes all streamflow data in cfs; irrigation water rights, flood-control gates, and dam spillway capacities are specified in cfs. The Colorado River at full natural flow is ≈22 000 cfs. 1 cfs = 0.028316846592 m³/s ≈ 28.317 L/s ≈ 448.8 US gpm.
