Factor1 kg/day = 4.166667e-5 t/hr

Converter

kg/day

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

Result
1t/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
t/hr = kg/day × 4.166667e-5

Multiply any value in kilograms per day by 4.166667e-5 to obtain the value in metric tonnes per hour.

Worked example

Convert 24000 kg/day to t/hr.

  1. 01Start with 24000 kg/day.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 24000 × 4.166667e-5 = 1 t/hr.
Result24000 kg/day = 1 t/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kg/day to t/hr?
1 kg/day equals 4.166667e-5 t/hr. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms per day by 4.166667e-5.
How do I convert 1 kg/day to t/hr?
1 kg/day = 4.16667e-5 t/hr. For any value, multiply by 4.166667e-5.
How do I convert t/hr back to kg/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 24000. So 1 t/hr = 24000 kg/day.
When would I need to convert kilogram per day to metric tonne per hour?
Mass flow conversions between kg/day and t/hr 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).
