Method and calculation
Convert mass flow rate through the kilogram per second: value × source factor / target factor. Factors relative to kilogram per second: kg/s = 1; kg/h = 0.0002777777777777778; g/s = 0.001; lb/h = 0.00012599788055555556; tonne/h = 0.2777777777777778.
Inputs and settings
Mass Flow Rate Converter accepts Value (minimum 0); From unit (kg/s, kg/h, g/s, lb/h, tonne/h); To unit (kg/s, kg/h, g/s, lb/h, tonne/h).
Worked example
Mass Flow Rate Converter example — Value: 1; From unit: "kg/s"; To unit: "kg/h". Computed output: { "value": 3600, "unit": "kg/h", "baseValue": 1, "baseUnit": "kilogram per second" }
Output and limitations
Mass flow records the amount of matter transported over an interval. Kilograms per hour and tonnes per hour describe mass, not tank capacity. Converting to litres per minute additionally requires fluid density, which is deliberately not assumed by this converter.
