    Convert mass flow rate between kg/s, g/s, kg/min, kg/h, t/h (TPH), t/day (TPD), lb/s, lb/min and lb/h. 1 t/h = 0.27778 kg/s and 1 kg/s = 7936.64 lb/h.

    Mass or volumetric flow?

    Mass flow ṁ = ρ Q. Use mass flow for energy balances (Q̇ = ṁ c ΔT) and boilers; convert a volumetric flow with the fluid density at its actual temperature and pressure. Water at 1 m³/h is about 1000 kg/h.

    Mass Flow Rate unit definitions

    kilogram per second (kg/s)
    The kilogram per second is the SI unit of mass flow rate ṁ, used in energy balances Q̇ = ṁ c ΔT and turbine and boiler problems.
    kilogram per hour (kg/h)
    Kilograms per hour are the plant-floor unit for steam generation, fuel consumption, dryer and mill capacity: a small boiler makes 1000–5000 kg/h of steam.
    tonne per hour (t/h)
    Tonnes per hour (TPH) rate boilers, conveyors, crushers and rice and flour mills: a 10 TPH boiler produces 10,000 kg of steam per hour.
    tonne per day (t/day)
    Tonnes per day (TPD) state the capacity of chemical plants, sugar mills (tonnes of cane crushed per day), cement kilns and solid-waste facilities.
    pound per hour (lb/h)
    Pounds per hour rate US boilers (lb/h of steam), fuel flows and process streams.
    gram per second (g/s)
    Grams per second suit small flows: engine mass-air-flow sensors read in g/s (about 3 g/s per litre of engine at idle), as do laboratory feeds.

    kilogram per minute (kg/min)
    Kilograms per minute rate feeders, extruders and filling lines.
    pound per second (lb/s)
    Pounds per second rate jet-engine and gas-turbine air flow in US practice.
    pound per minute (lb/min)
    Pounds per minute appear in US refrigerant and compressed-air mass flows.
