About Converting Kiloliter per Minutes to Cubic yard per Seconds
Kiloliter per Minutes and Cubic yard 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
cubic yard per seconds = kiloliter per minutes × 0.0217991769886
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kiloliter per minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, and 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 0.764554857984 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per minutes-to-cubic yard per seconds factor of 0.0217991769886.
Simple example
1 kL/min × 0.02179917699 = 0.021799177 yd3/s
1 kiloliter per minutes = 0.021799177 cubic yard per seconds.
Real-world example
60 kL/min × 0.02179917699 = 1.307950619 yd3/s
60 kiloliter per minutes = 1.307950619 cubic yard per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic yard per seconds are in 1 kiloliter per minutes?
1 kiloliter per minutes equals 0.021799177 cubic yard per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per minutes to cubic yard per seconds?
Multiply the kiloliter per minutes value by 0.02179917699. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic yard per seconds back to kiloliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 45.87329148 kiloliter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kiloliter per minutes?
Kiloliter per Minutes (kL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic yard per seconds?
Cubic yard per Seconds (yd3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per minutes to cubic yard per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per minutes and cubic yard per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.02179917699 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.
