About Converting Kiloliter per Seconds to Cubic Centimeter per Seconds
Kiloliter per Seconds and Cubic Centimeter 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 centimeter per seconds = kiloliter per seconds × 1000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1 base unit, and 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per seconds-to-cubic centimeter per seconds factor of 1000000.
Simple example
1 kL/s × 1000000 = 1,000,000 cm3/s
1 kiloliter per seconds = 1,000,000 cubic centimeter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 kL/s × 1000000 = 60,000,000 cm3/s
60 kiloliter per seconds = 60,000,000 cubic centimeter per seconds.

Reverse conversion: Cubic Centimeter per Seconds to Kiloliter per Seconds
1 cm3/s × 0.000001 = 0.000001 kL/s
1 cubic centimeter per seconds = 0.000001 kiloliter per seconds.
kiloliter per seconds = cubic centimeter per seconds × 0.000001

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic centimeter per seconds are in 1 kiloliter per seconds?
1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1,000,000 cubic centimeter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds to cubic centimeter per seconds?
Multiply the kiloliter per seconds value by 1000000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic centimeter per seconds back to kiloliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.000001 kiloliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kiloliter per seconds?
Kiloliter per Seconds (kL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic centimeter per seconds?
Cubic Centimeter per Seconds (cm3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per seconds to cubic centimeter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per seconds and cubic centimeter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000000 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.
