Kilolitres per second (kL/s)

Conversion Formula

kL/s = gph × 1.051503273e-6

About US gallons per hour

The US gallon per hour (gph) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/3600 ≈ 1.051×10⁻⁶ m³/s, common in oil-burner nozzle ratings, water-softener regeneration, and RV/marine-plumbing specifications. Residential oil-burner nozzles are rated in gph (e.g., 0.75 gph, 1.00 gph); a small boat bilge pump might handle 200-500 gph. 1 US gph ≈ 1.052×10⁻⁶ m³/s ≈ 3.785 L/h.

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.
