What Is This Tool?
This tool converts mass flow rates from megagram per second (Mg/s) to metric tons per hour (t/h), enabling users to express large mass flows in a commonly used hourly metric unit. It's useful for industries like power generation, mining, and chemical processing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the mass flow value in megagram per second (Mg/s)
-
Select the target unit as ton (metric) per hour (t/h)
-
Click convert to get the mass flow rate expressed in metric tons per hour
Key Features
-
Accurate conversion between Mg/s and t/h using the fixed rate of 1 Mg/s = 3600 t/h
-
Supports quick calculation of large mass flow rates relevant to industrial processes
-
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output fields
Examples
-
Convert 2 Mg/s to t/h results in 7200 t/h
-
Convert 0.5 Mg/s to t/h results in 1800 t/h
Common Use Cases
-
Sizing and analyzing steam turbines and boiler feedwater systems
-
Determining throughput for pipelines and LNG transfer operations
-
Managing bulk-material transport rates in mining and industrial conveyors
-
Reporting feedstock or product flow rates in refineries and process plants
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values represent steady mass flow to maintain accuracy
-
Use this conversion to simplify reporting of large industrial mass flows
-
Check units carefully when integrating converted values into system designs
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes constant flow rates without accounting for fluctuations
-
Unit definitions are based on metric mass and time standards only
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 megagram per second represent?
-
It represents a mass flow rate of one megagram (1000 kg) passing a point each second, equivalent to one tonne per second.
-
Why convert Mg/s to t/h?
-
Converting to tonnes per hour provides a more conventional and interpretable unit for large industrial mass flow rates.
-
In which industries is this conversion often applied?
-
This is commonly used in power generation, mining, LNG transfer, bulk material handling, and chemical processing industries.
Key Terminology

-
Ton (metric) per hour (t/h)
-
A mass flow rate showing one metric tonne (1000 kg) passing a point each hour.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The amount of mass passing through a given point per unit time.
