About Converting Liters per Millisecond to Kiloliter per Seconds
Liter per Millisecond and Kiloliter 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
kiloliter per seconds = liters per millisecond × 1
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per millisecond equals 1 base unit, and 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per millisecond-to-kiloliter per seconds factor of 1.
Simple example
1 L/ms × 1 = 1 kL/s
1 liter per millisecond = 1 kiloliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 L/ms × 1 = 60 kL/s
60 liters per millisecond = 60 kiloliter per seconds.
Conversion table
| Liter per Millisecond (L/ms) | Kiloliter per Seconds (kL/s) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 L/ms | 0.1 kL/s |
| 1 L/ms | 1 kL/s |
| 10 L/ms | 10 kL/s |
| 60 L/ms | 60 kL/s |
| 100 L/ms | 100 kL/s |
| 1,000 L/ms | 1,000 kL/s |
Reverse conversion: Kiloliter per Seconds to Liter per Millisecond
1 kL/s × 1 = 1 L/ms
1 kiloliter per seconds = 1 liter per millisecond.
liters per millisecond = kiloliter per seconds × 1

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