About Converting Cubic feet per Millisecond to Kiloliter per Seconds
Cubic foot per Millisecond 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 = cubic feet per millisecond × 28.316846592
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per millisecond equals 28.316846592 base units, and 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per millisecond-to-kiloliter per seconds factor of 28.316846592.
Simple example
1 ft3/ms × 28.31684659 = 28.31684659 kL/s
1 cubic foot per millisecond = 28.31684659 kiloliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 ft3/ms × 28.31684659 = 1,699.010796 kL/s
60 cubic feet per millisecond = 1,699.010796 kiloliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliter per seconds are in 1 cubic foot per millisecond?
1 cubic foot per millisecond equals 28.31684659 kiloliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic foot per millisecond to kiloliter per seconds?
Multiply the cubic foot per millisecond value by 28.31684659. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds back to cubic foot per millisecond?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 0.0353146667 cubic feet per millisecond. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic foot per millisecond?
Cubic foot per Millisecond (ft3/ms) 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 cubic foot per millisecond to kiloliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per millisecond and kiloliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 28.31684659 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.
