About Converting Centiliter per Seconds to Kiloliters per Millisecond
Centiliter per Seconds and Kiloliter per Millisecond 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
kiloliters per millisecond = centiliter per seconds × 1e-8
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per seconds equals 0.00001 base units, and 1 kiloliter per millisecond equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per seconds-to-kiloliter per millisecond factor of 1e-8.
Simple example
1 cL/s × 1e-8 = 1e-8 kL/ms
1 centiliter per seconds = 1e-8 kiloliters per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 cL/s × 1e-8 = 6e-7 kL/ms
60 centiliter per seconds = 6e-7 kiloliters per millisecond.
Conversion table
| Centiliter per Seconds (cL/s) | Kiloliter per Millisecond (kL/ms) |

| 0.1 cL/s | 1e-9 kL/ms |
| 1 cL/s | 1e-8 kL/ms |
| 10 cL/s | 1e-7 kL/ms |
| 60 cL/s | 6e-7 kL/ms |
| 100 cL/s | 0.000001 kL/ms |
| 1,000 cL/s | 0.00001 kL/ms |
Reverse conversion: Kiloliter per Millisecond to Centiliter per Seconds
1e-8 kL/ms × 100000000 = 1 cL/s
1e-8 kiloliters per millisecond = 1 centiliter per seconds.
centiliter per seconds = kiloliters per millisecond × 100000000

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliters per millisecond are in 1 centiliter per seconds?
1 centiliter per seconds equals 1e-8 kiloliters per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per seconds to kiloliter per millisecond?
Multiply the centiliter per seconds value by 1e-8. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per millisecond back to centiliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per millisecond equals 100,000,000 centiliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per seconds?
Centiliter per Seconds (cL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a kiloliter per millisecond?
Kiloliter per Millisecond (kL/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per seconds to kiloliter per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per seconds and kiloliter per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e-8 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.
