Convert Kilograms per hour to Metric tons per minute
Convert Kilograms per hour (kg/h) to Metric tons per minute (t/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
t/min = kg/h × 1.666666667e-5
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 minute
The metric tonne per minute (t/min) equals 1 000/60 ≈ 16.667 kg/s, used for large-scale mining conveyor capacity, bulk-carrier loading terminals, and industrial furnace melt rates. A Cape-size bulk carrier loads iron ore at 3 000-5 000 t/h = 50-83 t/min; a large electric arc furnace taps ≈100-200 t of steel per heat over roughly 60-90 min. 1 t/min = 1 000/60 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/min.
