Formula

Formula
kg/min = kg/hr × 0.01666667

Multiply any value in kilograms per hour by 0.01666667 to obtain the value in kilograms per minute.

Worked example

Convert 600 kg/hr to kg/min.

  1. 01Start with 600 kg/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 600 × 0.01666667 = 10 kg/min.
Result600 kg/hr = 10 kg/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kg/hr to kg/min?
1 kg/hr equals 0.01666667 kg/min. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms per hour by 0.01666667.
How do I convert 1 kg/hr to kg/min?
1 kg/hr = 0.0166667 kg/min. For any value, multiply by 0.01666667.
How do I convert kg/min back to kg/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60. So 1 kg/min = 60 kg/hr.
When would I need to convert kilogram per hour to kilogram per minute?
Mass flow conversions between kg/hr and kg/min 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).
