Convert Kilolitres per second to Cubic yards per second
Convert Kilolitres per second (kL/s) to Cubic yards per second (yd³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
yd³/s = kL/s × 1.307950619
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 yards per second
The cubic yard per second (yd³/s) equals 0.764554857984 m³/s, a large unit used in US civil engineering for river flood-stage measurements and reservoir emergency-spillway capacity. A major dam spillway releasing water at 1 000 yd³/s could drain an Olympic pool in about 3 seconds. 1 yd³/s = 0.764554857984 m³/s ≈ 764.555 L/s ≈ 27 ft³/s.
