Factor1 t/day = 0.04166667 t/hr

Converter

t/day

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

Result
10t/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
t/hr = t/day × 0.04166667

Multiply any value in metric tonnes per day by 0.04166667 to obtain the value in metric tonnes per hour.

Worked example

Convert 240 t/day to t/hr.

  1. 01Start with 240 t/day.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 240 × 0.04166667 = 10 t/hr.
Result240 t/day = 10 t/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from t/day to t/hr?
1 t/day equals 0.04166667 t/hr. To convert, multiply the value in metric tonnes per day by 0.04166667.
How do I convert 1 t/day to t/hr?
1 t/day = 0.0416667 t/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.04166667.
How do I convert t/hr back to t/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 24. So 1 t/hr = 24 t/day.
When would I need to convert metric tonne per day to metric tonne per hour?
Mass flow conversions between t/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).
