Factor1 kg/min = 0.01666667 kg/s

Converter

kg/min

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

Result
1kg/s

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
kg/s = kg/min × 0.01666667

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

Worked example

Convert 60 kg/min to kg/s.

  1. 01Start with 60 kg/min.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60 × 0.01666667 = 1 kg/s.
Result60 kg/min = 1 kg/s

FAQ

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