How to Convert Grams per Second to Kilograms per Hour
To convert grams per second to kilograms per hour, multiply the mass flow rate by the following conversion ratio: 3.6 kilograms per hour/gram per second.
Since one gram per second is equal to 3.6 kilograms per hour, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The mass flow rate in kilograms per hour is equal to the mass flow rate in grams per second multiplied by 3.6.
For example, here's how to convert 5 grams per second to kilograms per hour using the formula above.
How Many Kilograms per Hour Are in a Gram per Second?
There are 3.6 kilograms per hour in a gram per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our gram per second to kilogram per hour calculator automatically converts your mass flow rate measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Grams per Second and kilograms per hour are both units used to measure mass flow rate. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Gram per Second?
A gram per second is a unit of mass flow rate equal to 1/1,000 of a kilogram per second (0.001 kg/s). Equal to 0.001 kg/s. [1]
The gram per second is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of mass flow rate. Grams per Second can be abbreviated as g/s; for example, 1 gram per second can be written as 1 g/s.
When working with grams per second (g/s) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, grams per second (g/s) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale mass flow rate measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Kilogram per Hour?
A kilogram per hour is a unit of mass flow rate equal to 1/3,600 of a kilogram per second (0.000277778 kg/s). Process engineering mass flow unit. [2]
The kilogram per hour is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of mass flow rate. Kilograms per Hour can be abbreviated as kg/h; for example, 1 kilogram per hour can be written as 1 kg/h.
In the metric system, "kilo" is the standard SI prefix for thousands, or 10³. This makes the kilogram per hour (kg/h) a convenient decimal multiple of the kilogram per second (kg/s).
In practice, kilograms per hour (kg/h) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale mass flow rate measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting mass flow rate between grams per second (g/s) and kilograms per hour (kg/h), keep full floating-point precision (1 g/s = 3.6 kg/h; 1 kg/h = 0.2777778 g/s) during intermediate calculations and round only the final kilogram per hour figure to match your instrument tolerance.
