Convert Kilograms per hour to Metric tons per hour
Convert Kilograms per hour (kg/h) to Metric tons per hour (t/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
t/h = kg/h × 0.001
About Kilograms per hour
The kilogram per hour (kg/h) equals 1/3600 kg/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ kg/s, the dominant metric unit in the chemical and petrochemical industry for equipment sizing. Distillation column feed rates, reactor throughputs, heat-exchanger duty calculations, and pump datasheets routinely use kg/h. A 500 MW coal-fired power station burns ≈180 000 kg/h of coal. 1 kg/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ kg/s = 2.205 lb/h.
About Metric tons per hour
The metric tonne per hour (t/h) equals 1 000/3600 ≈ 0.27778 kg/s, the dominant capacity unit in European and international process engineering. Equipment datasheets for conveyor belts, crushers, mills, dryers, compactors, and cyclone separators specify throughput in t/h. A 500 MW coal plant consumes ≈70-90 t/h of pulverised coal; a large rotary cement kiln produces ≈200-300 t/h of clinker. 1 t/h = 1 000/3600 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/h.
