Accuracy depends on exact unit definitions and timing consistency
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does kilogram per second measure?
-
Kilogram per second is a unit of mass flow rate indicating how much mass passes a point or transfers per second.
-
Why convert kg/s to ton per hour?
-
Converting to ton per hour helps express mass flow rates in larger units more convenient for industrial throughput and reporting.
-
Can this conversion handle varying material densities?
-
No, it assumes steady flow rates and does not account for density or state changes in the material.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram per second (kg/s)
-
An SI derived unit measuring mass flow rate as the amount of mass transferred per second.
-
Ton (metric) per hour (t/h)
-
A unit representing the mass flow rate of one metric tonne passing per hour, equal to 1000 kg/h.
