Convert US quarts per minute to Kilolitres per second
Convert US quarts per minute (qt/min) to Kilolitres per second (kL/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/s = qt/min × 1.577254910e-5
About US quarts per minute
The US quart per minute (qt/min) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/4/60 ≈ 1.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s, encountered in US small-engine fuel system testing and food-processing pump calibration. Engine dynamometer fuel-flow instrumentation sometimes uses qt/min when testing small gasoline engines consuming 1-6 qt/min at full load. 1 US qt/min ≈ 1.577×10⁻⁵ 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.
