Convert Kilolitres per second to Cubic metres per minute
Convert Kilolitres per second (kL/s) to Cubic metres per minute (m³/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
m³/min = kL/s × 60
About Kilolitres per second
The kilolitre per second (kL/s) equals 1 m³/s, so 1 kL/s is identical to 1 m³/s. The term kilolitre is favoured in Australian and South African engineering over the equivalent cubic metre per second. Municipal water-main flow and stormwater-channel capacity are sometimes expressed in kL/s in these countries. 1 kL/s = 1 m³/s = 1 000 L/s ≈ 15 850 US gal/min.
About Cubic metres per minute
The cubic metre per minute (m³/min) equals 1/60 m³/s ≈ 1.667×10⁻² m³/s, used in large compressor and blower specifications, tunnel ventilation design, and industrial air-handling. A mine-ventilation fan may move 1 000-5 000 m³/min; an industrial rotary-screw compressor delivers 5-50 m³/min of free air. 1 m³/min = 1 000 L/min ≈ 35.31 ft³/min ≈ 264.2 US gal/min.
