About Converting Kiloliter per Seconds to Kiloliters per Millisecond
Kiloliter per Seconds and Kiloliter per Millisecond 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
kiloliters per millisecond = kiloliter per seconds × 0.001
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 kiloliter per millisecond equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per seconds-to-kiloliter per millisecond factor of 0.001.
Simple example
1 kL/s × 0.001 = 0.001 kL/ms
1 kiloliter per seconds = 0.001 kiloliters per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 kL/s × 0.001 = 0.06 kL/ms
60 kiloliter per seconds = 0.06 kiloliters per millisecond.
Conversion table

Reverse conversion: Kiloliter per Millisecond to Kiloliter per Seconds
0.001 kL/ms × 1000 = 1 kL/s
0.001 kiloliters per millisecond = 1 kiloliter per seconds.
kiloliter per seconds = kiloliters per millisecond × 1000

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliters per millisecond are in 1 kiloliter per seconds?
1 kiloliter per seconds equals 0.001 kiloliters per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds to kiloliter per millisecond?
Multiply the kiloliter per seconds value by 0.001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per millisecond back to kiloliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per millisecond equals 1,000 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 kiloliter per millisecond?
Kiloliter per Millisecond (kL/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the kiloliter per seconds to kiloliter per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per seconds and kiloliter per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.001 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.
