About Converting Centiliter per Minutes to Kiloliter per Seconds
Centiliter per Minutes and Kiloliter per Seconds both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
kiloliter per seconds = centiliter per minutes × 1.666667e-7
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per minutes equals 1.666667e-7 base units, and 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per minutes-to-kiloliter per seconds factor of 1.666667e-7.
Simple example
1 cL/min × 1.666667e-7 = 1.666667e-7 kL/s
1 centiliter per minutes = 1.666667e-7 kiloliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 cL/min × 1.666667e-7 = 0.00001 kL/s
60 centiliter per minutes = 0.00001 kiloliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliter per seconds are in 1 centiliter per minutes?
1 centiliter per minutes equals 1.666667e-7 kiloliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per minutes to kiloliter per seconds?
Multiply the centiliter per minutes value by 1.666667e-7. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds back to centiliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 6,000,000 centiliter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per minutes?
Centiliter per Minutes (cL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a kiloliter per seconds?
Kiloliter per Seconds (kL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per minutes to kiloliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per minutes and kiloliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.666667e-7 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
