Convert Kilolitres per second to Litres per hour
Convert Kilolitres per second (kL/s) to Litres per hour (L/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
L/h = kL/s × 3600000
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 Litres per hour
The litre per hour (L/h) equals 10⁻³/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ m³/s, widely used in automotive fuel consumption (L/h), irrigation drip systems, and small pump specifications. A fuel cell vehicle running on hydrogen consumes ±2 L/h of liquid equivalent; a domestic water softener regeneration cycle uses 40-100 L/h of brine. 1 L/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/h.
