Convert Kilograms per minute to Metric tons per hour
Convert Kilograms per minute (kg/min) to Metric tons per hour (t/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
t/h = kg/min × 0.06
About Kilograms per minute
The kilogram per minute (kg/min) equals 1/60 kg/s ≈ 0.01667 kg/s, convenient for medium-scale industrial processes and chemical reactors. A cement transit-mixer discharges ready-mix at ≈200-400 kg/min; a grain auger on a combine harvester typically moves 300-600 kg/min; an industrial coffee roaster cycles 120-180 kg/min of beans through the drum. 1 kg/min = 1/60 kg/s = 60 kg/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.
