Convert Kilolitres per hour to Cubic metres per hour
Convert Kilolitres per hour (kL/h) to Cubic metres per hour (m³/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
m³/h = kL/h × 1
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 metres per hour
The cubic metre per hour (m³/h) equals 1/3600 m³/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ m³/s, the dominant volumetric flow unit in European process engineering, HVAC, and water treatment. Pump datasheet curves, heat-exchanger sizing software, and wastewater-treatment design all use m³/h as the standard. A domestic water pump runs at 3-8 m³/h; a municipal WWTP inlet pump handles 500-5 000 m³/h. 1 m³/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ m³/s = 1 000 L/h.
