Convert Millilitres per second to Kilolitres per hour
Convert Millilitres per second (mL/s) to Kilolitres per hour (kL/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/h = mL/s × 0.0036
About Millilitres per second
The millilitre per second (mL/s) equals 10⁻⁶ m³/s, common in laboratory syringe pumps, HPLC systems, and medical infusion devices. A standard IV drip running at 1 mL/s would deliver 3.6 L/h - a rapid infusion rate used in resuscitation; analytical HPLC columns run 0.5-5 mL/s. 1 mL/s = 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 60 mL/min = 3.6 L/h.
About Kilolitres per hour
The kilolitre per hour (kL/h) equals 1/3600 m³/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ m³/s, identical to m³/h. It is used interchangeably with m³/h in Australian, New Zealand, and South African process-engineering practice. Pump datasheets from these markets quote capacity in kL/h; water-meter billing in rural areas uses kL/h for irrigation allocation. 1 kL/h = 1 m³/h = 1 000 L/h.
