About Converting Liter per Hours to Kiloliter per Hours
Liter per Hours and Kiloliter per Hours 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
kiloliter per hours = liter per hours × 0.001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per hours equals 2.777778e-7 base units, and 1 kiloliter per hours equals 0.000277777777778 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per hours-to-kiloliter per hours factor of 0.001.
Simple example
1 L/h × 0.001 = 0.001 kL/h
1 liter per hours = 0.001 kiloliter per hours.
Real-world example
60 L/h × 0.001 = 0.06 kL/h
60 liter per hours = 0.06 kiloliter per hours.
Conversion table
| Liter per Hours (L/h) | Kiloliter per Hours (kL/h) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 L/h | 0.0001 kL/h |
| 1 L/h | 0.001 kL/h |
| 10 L/h | 0.01 kL/h |
| 60 L/h | 0.06 kL/h |
| 100 L/h | 0.1 kL/h |
| 1,000 L/h | 1 kL/h |
Reverse conversion: Kiloliter per Hours to Liter per Hours
0.001 kL/h × 1000 = 1 L/h
0.001 kiloliter per hours = 1 liter per hours.
liter per hours = kiloliter per hours × 1000

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliter per hours are in 1 liter per hours?
1 liter per hours equals 0.001 kiloliter per hours, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per hours to kiloliter per hours?
Multiply the liter per hours value by 0.001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per hours back to liter per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per hours equals 1,000 liter per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a liter per hours?
Liter per Hours (L/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a kiloliter per hours?
Kiloliter per Hours (kL/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per hours to kiloliter per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per hours and kiloliter per hours 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.
