About Converting Kiloliter per Minutes to Megaliter per Seconds
Kiloliter per Minutes 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 minutes × 0.0000166666666667
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 megaliter per seconds equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per minutes-to-megaliter per seconds factor of 0.0000166666666667.
Simple example
1 kL/min × 0.00001666666667 = 0.0000166667 ML/s
1 kiloliter per minutes = 0.0000166667 megaliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 kL/min × 0.00001666666667 = 0.001 ML/s
60 kiloliter per minutes = 0.001 megaliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many megaliter per seconds are in 1 kiloliter per minutes?
1 kiloliter per minutes equals 0.0000166667 megaliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per minutes to megaliter per seconds?
Multiply the kiloliter per minutes value by 0.00001666666667. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megaliter per seconds back to kiloliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megaliter per seconds equals 60,000 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 megaliter per seconds?
Megaliter per Seconds (ML/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per minutes to megaliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per minutes and megaliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001666666667 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.
