Kilolitres per hour to Pints per minute conversion

What is kilolitres per hour?

A nice question about units of measurement!

Kilolitre (kL) is a unit of volume, equal to 1,000 litres. So, kilolitres per hour (kL/h or kL/hr) is a unit of volumetric flow rate.

To put it simply, kilolitres per hour measures the amount of liquid (such as water, oil, or any other fluid) that flows through a pipe or system in one hour. The value represents the volume of liquid passing through the system, not its mass or weight.

Here's an example to illustrate this:

• If a pump is moving 2 kilolitres of water per hour, it means that the pump is delivering 2,000 litres (or 2000 kilograms) of water in one hour.

What is pints per minute?

A very specific and interesting question!

Pints per minute (ppm) is a unit of measurement that represents the volume flow rate of a liquid in pints, measured over a period of one minute.

In the imperial system, 1 pint (pt) is equal to about 568.26 milliliters (mL). So, if you know the volume of liquid being flowed and the time it's flowing for, you can calculate the ppm.

For example:

• If 10 pints of water are flowing from a tap in one minute, the flow rate would be 10 ppm.
• If 0.5 pints of juice are being dispensed per minute by a machine, the flow rate is 0.5 ppm.

Pints per minute is often used to describe the flow rates of liquids in various applications, such as:

• Brewing and winemaking (to measure the rate at which beer or wine is flowing during fermentation or packaging)
• Laboratory settings (to quantify the rate at which chemicals or samples are being pipetted or poured)
• Industrial processes (to monitor the flow rates of liquids used in manufacturing, cleaning, or other applications)

I hope this helps! Do you have a specific context where pints per minute is relevant?
