Mass Flow Rate

kg/stot/hr

Convert kilograms per second (kg/s) to metric tonnes per hour (t/hr).

Factor1 kg/s = 3.6 t/hr

Converter

kg/s

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

Result
3.6t/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
t/hr = kg/s × 3.6

Multiply any value in kilograms per second by 3.6 to obtain the value in metric tonnes per hour.

Worked example

Convert 1 kg/s to t/hr.

  1. 01Start with 1 kg/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 3.6 = 3.6 t/hr.
Result1 kg/s = 3.6 t/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kg/s to t/hr?
1 kg/s equals 3.6 t/hr. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms per second by 3.6.
How do I convert 1 kg/s to t/hr?
1 kg/s = 3.6 t/hr. For any value, multiply by 3.6.
How do I convert t/hr back to kg/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.2777778. So 1 t/hr = 0.277778 kg/s.
When would I need to convert kilogram per second to metric tonne per hour?
Mass flow conversions between kg/s 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).
