mg/mintomg/hr

Convert milligrams per minute (mg/min) to milligrams per hour (mg/hr).

Factor1 mg/min = 60 mg/hr

Converter

mg/min

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

Result
60mg/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
mg/hr = mg/min × 60

Multiply any value in milligrams per minute by 60 to obtain the value in milligrams per hour.

Worked example

Convert 1 mg/min to mg/hr.

  1. 01Start with 1 mg/min.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 60 = 60 mg/hr.
Result1 mg/min = 60 mg/hr

FAQ

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