About Converting Kiloliter per Minutes to Gallon per Seconds
Kiloliter per Minutes and Gallon 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
gallon per seconds = kiloliter per minutes × 4.4028675393
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 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per minutes-to-gallon per seconds factor of 4.4028675393.
Simple example
1 kL/min × 4.402867539 = 4.402867539 gal/s
1 kiloliter per minutes = 4.402867539 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 kL/min × 4.402867539 = 264.1720524 gal/s
60 kiloliter per minutes = 264.1720524 gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per seconds are in 1 kiloliter per minutes?
1 kiloliter per minutes equals 4.402867539 gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per minutes to gallon per seconds?
Multiply the kiloliter per minutes value by 4.402867539. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per seconds back to kiloliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.227124707 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 gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per minutes to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per minutes and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 4.402867539 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.
