About Converting Kiloliter per Seconds to Cubic Meter per Minutes
Kiloliter per Seconds and Cubic Meter per Minutes 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 meter per minutes = kiloliter per seconds × 60
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 meter per minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per seconds-to-cubic meter per minutes factor of 60.
Simple example
1 kL/s × 60 = 60 m3/min
1 kiloliter per seconds = 60 cubic meter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 kL/s × 60 = 3,600 m3/min
60 kiloliter per seconds = 3,600 cubic meter per minutes.
Conversion table

| 0.1 kL/s | 6 m3/min |
| 1 kL/s | 60 m3/min |
| 10 kL/s | 600 m3/min |
| 60 kL/s | 3,600 m3/min |
| 100 kL/s | 6,000 m3/min |
| 1,000 kL/s | 60,000 m3/min |
Reverse conversion: Cubic Meter per Minutes to Kiloliter per Seconds
60 m3/min × 0.01666666667 = 1 kL/s
60 cubic meter per minutes = 1 kiloliter per seconds.
kiloliter per seconds = cubic meter per minutes × 0.0166666666667

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic meter per minutes are in 1 kiloliter per seconds?
1 kiloliter per seconds equals 60 cubic meter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds to cubic meter per minutes?
Multiply the kiloliter per seconds value by 60. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic meter per minutes back to kiloliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic meter per minutes equals 0.0166666667 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 meter per minutes?
Cubic Meter per Minutes (m3/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per seconds to cubic meter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per seconds and cubic meter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 60 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.
