Examples
-
2 kg/min converts to 2.88 t/d by multiplying 2 by the conversion factor 1.44
-
0.5 kg/min is equivalent to 0.72 t/d following the same conversion procedure
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying fuel mass flow rates in jet engines and gas turbines
-
Controlling chemical reactant feed rates in process engineering
-
Measuring mass throughput in pumps and compressors with varying density
-
Reporting production rates in industries like cement, fertilizer, and steel
-
Planning bulk material handling and transport logistics for commodities
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow conditions are steady for accurate conversions
-
Use daily averaged units when reporting longer-term mass throughput
-
Cross-check conversions especially when monitoring fluctuating flow rates
-
Utilize this tool for process documentation and regulatory reporting
-
Refer to this conversion when comparing minute-based and day-based data
Limitations
-
Assumes flow rate remains constant over the conversion period
-
May not reflect short-term fluctuations with ton per day unit being an average
-
Density changes or unsteady flow conditions can impact conversion accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does kilogram per minute measure?
-
Kilogram per minute measures the mass flow rate indicating how many kilograms of a substance pass a point each minute.
-
Why convert kilogram per minute to metric ton per day?
-
Converting helps relate more immediate mass flow measurements to daily totals useful for industrial production reporting and environmental monitoring.
-
Is the conversion factor always fixed?
-
Yes, 1 kg/min is equal to 1.44 metric tons per day based on the defined relationship between minute and daily time units.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram per minute [kg/min]
-
A unit measuring mass flow rate as the amount of mass passing a point every minute.
-
Metric ton per day [t/d]
-
A unit of mass flow rate expressing mass processed or produced over 24 hours, equivalent to 1000 kilograms per day.
