Conversion Formula
kL/s = qt/h × 2.628758183e-7
About US quarts per hour
The US quart per hour (qt/h) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/4/3600 ≈ 2.629×10⁻⁷ m³/s, used in US agricultural irrigation drippers (emitters rated in qt/h) and hobby aquaculture systems. A drip emitter rated 1 qt/h ≈ 0.946 L/h is a common size for garden irrigation in the US market. 1 US qt/h ≈ 2.629×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
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.
