About Converting Cubic Kilometer per Seconds to Cubic Kilometer per Minutes
Cubic Kilometer per Seconds and Cubic Kilometer per Minutes 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
cubic kilometer per minutes = cubic kilometer per seconds × 60
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic kilometer per seconds equals 1000000000 base units, and 1 cubic kilometer per minutes equals 16666666.6667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic kilometer per seconds-to-cubic kilometer per minutes factor of 60.
Simple example
1 km3/s × 60 = 60 km3/min
1 cubic kilometer per seconds = 60 cubic kilometer per minutes.
Real-world example
60 km3/s × 60 = 3,600 km3/min
60 cubic kilometer per seconds = 3,600 cubic kilometer per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic kilometer per minutes are in 1 cubic kilometer per seconds?
1 cubic kilometer per seconds equals 60 cubic kilometer per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic kilometer per seconds to cubic kilometer per minutes?
Multiply the cubic kilometer per seconds value by 60. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic kilometer per minutes back to cubic kilometer per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic kilometer per minutes equals 0.0166666667 cubic kilometer per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic kilometer per seconds?
Cubic Kilometer per Seconds (km3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic kilometer per minutes?
Cubic Kilometer per Minutes (km3/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic kilometer per seconds to cubic kilometer per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic kilometer per seconds and cubic kilometer per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 60 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.
