About Converting Centiliter per Seconds to Kiloliter per Seconds
Centiliter per Seconds 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 seconds × 0.00001
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 seconds equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per seconds-to-kiloliter per seconds factor of 0.00001.
Simple example
1 cL/s × 0.00001 = 0.00001 kL/s
1 centiliter per seconds = 0.00001 kiloliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 cL/s × 0.00001 = 0.0006 kL/s
60 centiliter per seconds = 0.0006 kiloliter per seconds.
Conversion table
| Centiliter per Seconds (cL/s) | Kiloliter per Seconds (kL/s) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 cL/s | 0.000001 kL/s |
| 1 cL/s | 0.00001 kL/s |
| 10 cL/s | 0.0001 kL/s |
| 60 cL/s | 0.0006 kL/s |

Reverse conversion: Kiloliter per Seconds to Centiliter per Seconds
0.00001 kL/s × 100000 = 1 cL/s
0.00001 kiloliter per seconds = 1 centiliter per seconds.
centiliter per seconds = kiloliter per seconds × 100000

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliter per seconds are in 1 centiliter per seconds?
1 centiliter per seconds equals 0.00001 kiloliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per seconds to kiloliter per seconds?
Multiply the centiliter per seconds value by 0.00001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds back to centiliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 100,000 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 seconds?
Kiloliter per Seconds (kL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per seconds to kiloliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per seconds and kiloliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001 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.
