About Converting Kiloliter per Seconds to Gallon per Seconds
Kiloliter per Seconds 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 seconds × 264.172052358
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 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per seconds-to-gallon per seconds factor of 264.172052358.
Simple example
1 kL/s × 264.1720524 = 264.1720524 gal/s
1 kiloliter per seconds = 264.1720524 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 kL/s × 264.1720524 = 15,850.32314 gal/s
60 kiloliter per seconds = 15,850.32314 gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per seconds are in 1 kiloliter per seconds?
1 kiloliter per seconds equals 264.1720524 gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds to gallon per seconds?
Multiply the kiloliter per seconds value by 264.1720524. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per seconds back to kiloliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.0037854118 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 gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per seconds to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per seconds and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 264.1720524 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.
