About Converting Cubic Meter per Hours to Kiloliter per Minutes
Cubic Meter per Hours and Kiloliter 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. Cubic Meter per Hours is most often used for hvac equipment airflow and liquid-flow ratings.
Formula
kiloliter per minutes = cubic meter per hours × 0.0166666666667
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic meter per hours equals 0.000277777777778 base units, and 1 kiloliter per minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per hours-to-kiloliter per minutes factor of 0.0166666666667.
Simple example
1 m3/h × 0.01666666667 = 0.0166666667 kL/min
1 cubic meter per hours = 0.0166666667 kiloliter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 m3/h × 0.01666666667 = 1 kL/min
60 cubic meter per hours = 1 kiloliter per minutes.

Reverse conversion: Kiloliter per Minutes to Cubic Meter per Hours
0.0166666667 kL/min × 60 = 1.000000002 m3/h
0.0166666667 kiloliter per minutes = 1.000000002 cubic meter per hours.
cubic meter per hours = kiloliter per minutes × 60

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliter per minutes are in 1 cubic meter per hours?
1 cubic meter per hours equals 0.0166666667 kiloliter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per hours to kiloliter per minutes?
Multiply the cubic meter per hours value by 0.01666666667. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per minutes back to cubic meter per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per minutes equals 60 cubic meter per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic meter per hours?
Cubic Meter per Hours (m3/h) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic meter of volume passing a point every hour — a common scale for equipment and system flow ratings. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
What is a kiloliter per minutes?
Kiloliter per Minutes (kL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per hours to kiloliter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per hours and kiloliter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.01666666667 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the cubic meter per hours still used today?
Standard flow-rate unit for HVAC and industrial equipment ratings internationally, outside the US
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.
