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 UK gallons per second

The UK (imperial) gallon per second (gal/s) equals 4.54609×10⁻³ m³/s, about 20% larger than the US gallon per second. It appears in pre-metric British fire-fighting standards, large pump test certificates, and naval engineering calculations. A UK fire engine pump rated 1 000 UK gal/min delivers ≈16.67 UK gal/s. 1 UK gal/s = 4.54609×10⁻³ m³/s ≈ 1.201 US gal/s.
