About Converting Kiloliter per Hours to Megaliter per Seconds
Kiloliter per Hours and Megaliter 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
megaliter per seconds = kiloliter per hours × 2.777778e-7
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kiloliter per hours equals 0.000277777777778 base units, and 1 megaliter per seconds equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per hours-to-megaliter per seconds factor of 2.777778e-7.
Simple example
1 kL/h × 2.777778e-7 = 2.777778e-7 ML/s
1 kiloliter per hours = 2.777778e-7 megaliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 kL/h × 2.777778e-7 = 0.0000166667 ML/s
60 kiloliter per hours = 0.0000166667 megaliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many megaliter per seconds are in 1 kiloliter per hours?
1 kiloliter per hours equals 2.777778e-7 megaliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per hours to megaliter per seconds?
Multiply the kiloliter per hours value by 2.777778e-7. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megaliter per seconds back to kiloliter per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megaliter per seconds equals 3,600,000 kiloliter per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kiloliter per hours?
Kiloliter per Hours (kL/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a megaliter per seconds?
Megaliter per Seconds (ML/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per hours to megaliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per hours and megaliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 2.777778e-7 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.
