Convert Tonnes per Day to Tonnes per Hour (t/day to t/h)
1 tonne per day (t/day) = 0.04166666667 tonnes per hour (t/h). 1 t/h = 24 t/day. Example: 2400 t/day = 2400 × 0.04166666667 = 100 t/h.
Also searched as TPD to TPH, tonnes per day to tonnes per hour and TCD to TCH.
1 t/day = 0.04166666667 t/h

How to Convert Tonne per Day to Tonne per Hour
- 1 t/day = 0.04166666667 t/h
- 1 t/h = 24 t/day
- Example: convert 2400 t/day to t/h: 2400 t/day = 2400 × 0.04166666667 t/h = 100 t/h
Formula
t/h = t/day ÷ 24
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 t/day = 1000/86,400 kg/s.
- 1 t/h = 1000/3600 kg/s ≈ 0.2778 kg/s.
- 1 t/day = 0.01157407407407 kg/s ÷ 0.2777777777778 kg/s per t/h = 0.04166666666667 t/h
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Tonne per Day definition: tonne per day; Tonne per Hour definition: tonne per hour.
Worked examples
- A sugar mill crushing 2400 t/day crushes 100 t/h.
2400 t/day × 0.04166666667 = 100 t/h - A plant of 500 t/day produces 20.83333333 t/h.
500 t/day × 0.04166666667 = 20.83333333 t/h

Frequently asked questions
How many TPH is 1 TPD?
1 t/day = 0.04166666667 t/h.
How many tonnes per hour are in 1 tonne per day?
1 t/day = 0.04166666667 t/h.
How do I convert tonnes per day to tonnes per hour?
Multiply the value in t/day by 0.04166666667, or divide it by 24. For example, 2400 t/day × 0.04166666667 = 100 t/h.
Is the t/day to t/h conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
