About Converting Quart per Minutes to Kiloliter per Seconds
Quart per Minutes 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 = quart per minutes × 0.0000157725491
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 quart per minutes equals 0.0000157725491 base units, and 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct quart per minutes-to-kiloliter per seconds factor of 0.0000157725491.
Simple example
1 qt/min × 0.0000157725491 = 0.0000157725 kL/s
1 quart per minutes = 0.0000157725 kiloliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 qt/min × 0.0000157725491 = 0.0009463529 kL/s
60 quart per minutes = 0.0009463529 kiloliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloliter per seconds are in 1 quart per minutes?
1 quart per minutes equals 0.0000157725 kiloliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert quart per minutes to kiloliter per seconds?
Multiply the quart per minutes value by 0.0000157725491. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds back to quart per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 63,401.29257 quart per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a quart per minutes?
Quart per Minutes (qt/min) 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 quart per minutes to kiloliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both quart per minutes and kiloliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0000157725491 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.
