About Converting Cubic yard per Seconds to Kiloliter per Seconds
Cubic yard 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 = cubic yard per seconds × 0.764554857984
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 0.764554857984 base units, and 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic yard per seconds-to-kiloliter per seconds factor of 0.764554857984.
Simple example
1 yd3/s × 0.764554858 = 0.764554858 kL/s
1 cubic yard per seconds = 0.764554858 kiloliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 yd3/s × 0.764554858 = 45.87329148 kL/s
60 cubic yard per seconds = 45.87329148 kiloliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliter per seconds are in 1 cubic yard per seconds?
1 cubic yard per seconds equals 0.764554858 kiloliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic yard per seconds to kiloliter per seconds?
Multiply the cubic yard per seconds value by 0.764554858. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds back to cubic yard per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1.307950619 cubic yard per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic yard per seconds?
Cubic yard per Seconds (yd3/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 cubic yard per seconds to kiloliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic yard per seconds and kiloliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.764554858 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.
