Convert Kilolitres per minute to Cubic metres per hour
Convert Kilolitres per minute (kL/min) to Cubic metres per hour (m³/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
m³/h = kL/min × 60
About Kilolitres per minute
The kilolitre per minute (kL/min) equals 1/60 m³/s ≈ 0.016667 m³/s, used in Australian water-utility engineering for pump and pipeline sizing. Irrigation district delivery schedules and water-authority trunk-main flow records in Australia and New Zealand frequently use kL/min as an intermediate unit between L/s and ML/d. 1 kL/min = 1 000 L/min ≈ 264.2 US gal/min.
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.
