Convert Kilolitres per second to Litres per minute
Convert Kilolitres per second (kL/s) to Litres per minute (L/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
L/min = kL/s × 60000
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 minute
The litre per minute (L/min) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s, one of the most common flow units in consumer and light-industrial applications. Household washing machines use 10-15 L/min; oxygen concentrators deliver 1-10 L/min to patients; a standard garden sprinkler head discharges 15-30 L/min. 1 L/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/min.
