Convert US quarts per second to Kilolitres per hour
Convert US quarts per second (qt/s) to Kilolitres per hour (kL/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/h = qt/s × 3.406870606
About US quarts per second
The US quart per second (qt/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/4 ≈ 9.464×10⁻⁴ m³/s, used in US industrial filling lines handling quart-size containers (motor oil, paint, sauce). A high-speed filling machine loading 1 qt bottles at 4 per second processes 4 qt/s per nozzle. 1 US qt/s ≈ 9.464×10⁻⁴ m³/s = 0.9464 L/s.
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.
