How to Convert Kilograms per Minute to Kilograms per Hour
To convert kilograms per minute to kilograms per hour, multiply the mass flow rate by the following conversion ratio: 60 kilograms per hour/kilogram per minute.
Since one kilogram per minute is equal to 60 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 kilograms per minute multiplied by 60.
For example, here's how to convert 5 kilograms per minute to kilograms per hour using the formula above.
How Many Kilograms per Hour Are in a Kilogram per Minute?
There are 60 kilograms per hour in a kilogram per minute, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our kilogram per minute 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.
Kilograms per Minute and kilograms per hour are both units used to measure mass flow rate. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Kilogram per Minute?
A kilogram per minute is a unit of mass flow rate equal to 1/60 of a kilogram per second (0.0166667 kg/s). Equal to 1/60 kg/s. [1]
The kilogram per minute is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of mass flow rate. Kilograms per Minute can be abbreviated as kg/min; for example, 1 kilogram per minute can be written as 1 kg/min.
In the metric system, "kilo" is the standard SI prefix for thousands, or 10³. This makes the kilogram per minute (kg/min) a convenient decimal multiple of the kilogram per second (kg/s).
In practice, kilograms per minute (kg/min) are widely used across standard mass flow rate applications 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 kilograms per minute (kg/min) and kilograms per hour (kg/h), keep full floating-point precision (1 kg/min = 60 kg/h; 1 kg/h = 0.0166667 kg/min) during intermediate calculations and round only the final kilogram per hour figure to match your instrument tolerance.
