Factor1 t/hr = 0.2777778 kg/s

Converter

t/hr

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

Result
2.77778kg/s

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
kg/s = t/hr × 0.2777778

Multiply any value in metric tonnes per hour by 0.2777778 to obtain the value in kilograms per second.

Worked example

Convert 10 t/hr to kg/s.

  1. 01Start with 10 t/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 0.2777778 = 2.77778 kg/s.
Result10 t/hr = 2.77778 kg/s

FAQ

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