About Converting Kiloliter per Seconds to Cubic yard per Minutes
Kiloliter per Seconds and Cubic yard 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 yard per minutes = kiloliter per seconds × 78.4770371589
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 yard per minutes equals 0.0127425809664 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per seconds-to-cubic yard per minutes factor of 78.4770371589.
Simple example
1 kL/s × 78.47703716 = 78.47703716 yd3/min
1 kiloliter per seconds = 78.47703716 cubic yard per minutes.
Real-world example
60 kL/s × 78.47703716 = 4,708.62223 yd3/min
60 kiloliter per seconds = 4,708.62223 cubic yard per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic yard per minutes are in 1 kiloliter per seconds?
1 kiloliter per seconds equals 78.47703716 cubic yard per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds to cubic yard per minutes?
Multiply the kiloliter per seconds value by 78.47703716. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic yard per minutes back to kiloliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per minutes equals 0.012742581 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 yard per minutes?
Cubic yard per Minutes (yd3/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per seconds to cubic yard per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per seconds and cubic yard per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 78.47703716 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.
