How to Convert Kilomoles per Hour to Kilomoles per Second
To convert kilomoles per hour to kilomoles per second, multiply the molar flow rate by the following conversion ratio: 0.000277778 kilomoles per second/kilomole per hour.
Since one kilomole per hour is equal to 0.000277778 kilomoles per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The molar flow rate in kilomoles per second is equal to the molar flow rate in kilomoles per hour multiplied by 0.000277778.
For example, here's how to convert 5 kilomoles per hour to kilomoles per second using the formula above.

What Is a Kilomole per Hour?
A kilomole per hour is a unit of molar flow rate equal to 0.2777778 moles per second (mol/s), the base unit for molar flow rate. Chemical plant molar throughput unit (0.27778 mol/s). [1]
The kilomole per hour is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of molar flow rate. Kilomoles per Hour can be abbreviated as kmol/h; for example, 1 kilomole per hour can be written as 1 kmol/h.
In the metric system, "kilo" is the standard SI prefix for thousands, or 10³. This makes the kilomole per hour (kmol/h) a convenient decimal multiple of the mole per second (mol/s).
In practice, kilomoles per hour (kmol/h) are widely used across standard molar flow rate applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Kilomole per Second?
A kilomole per second is a unit of molar flow rate equal to 1,000 moles per second (mol/s), the base unit for molar flow rate. Equal to 1,000 mol/s. [2]
The kilomole per second is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of molar flow rate. Kilomoles per Second can be abbreviated as kmol/s; for example, 1 kilomole per second can be written as 1 kmol/s.
In the metric system, "kilo" is the standard SI prefix for thousands, or 10³. This makes the kilomole per second (kmol/s) a convenient decimal multiple of the mole per second (mol/s).
In practice, kilomoles per second (kmol/s) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level molar flow rate specifications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting molar flow rate between kilomoles per hour (kmol/h) and kilomoles per second (kmol/s), keep full floating-point precision (1 kmol/h = 0.000277778 kmol/s; 1 kmol/s = 3,600 kmol/h) during intermediate calculations and round only the final kilomole per second figure to match your instrument tolerance.
