kg/daytot/day

Convert kilograms per day (kg/day) to metric tonnes per day (t/day).

Factor1 kg/day = 0.001 t/day

Converter

kg/day

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1t/day

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
t/day = kg/day × 0.001

Multiply any value in kilograms per day by 0.001 to obtain the value in metric tonnes per day.

Worked example

Convert 1000 kg/day to t/day.

  1. 01Start with 1000 kg/day.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 t/day.
Result1000 kg/day = 1 t/day

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kg/day to t/day?
1 kg/day equals 0.001 t/day. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms per day by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 kg/day to t/day?
1 kg/day = 0.001 t/day. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert t/day back to kg/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 t/day = 1000 kg/day.
When would I need to convert kilogram per day to metric tonne per day?
Mass flow conversions between kg/day and t/day are common in material balances, process stream summaries, bulk solids handling, custody transfer, and equipment sizing where kg/hr, t/hr, lb/hr, and lb/s may all appear in different datasheets or vendor documents.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
