What Is This Tool?

This converter helps transform mass flow rates between ton (metric) per hour and ton (metric) per second. It is specifically designed to handle flow mass measurements used in various industries such as power generation, bulk material handling, and heavy engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the mass flow value in ton (metric)/hour [t/h].
  • Select ton (metric)/second [t/s] as the target unit.
  • Apply the conversion to get the equivalent value in t/s.
  • Use the converted value for analysis or reporting in smaller time units.

Key Features

  • Converts from metric tons per hour [t/h] to metric tons per second [t/s]
  • Provides a clear conversion formula and rate between units
  • Supports common industrial and engineering use cases
  • Browser-based and easy to use
  • Helps compare different mass flow units for precision analysis

Examples

  • 10 t/h equals 0.002777778 t/s using the formula 10 × 0.0002777778.
  • 100 t/h converts to 0.02777778 t/s following the conversion rate.

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing boiler or steam plant capacity in tonnes per hour.
  • Specifying throughput of conveyors handling coal, ore, or grain.
  • Measuring feedstock flow rates in refineries and chemical plants.
  • Reporting propellant mass flow in large rocket engines.
  • Quantifying heavy industry pipelines’ material flow.
  • Analyzing mass discharge in hydrology and pumping systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this converter to express large mass flows conveniently in t/s.
  • For small or moderate flows, consider using kg/s or t/h for clarity.
  • Be mindful of the very small decimal values when converting from t/h to t/s.
  • Always double-check your input values to ensure accurate conversions.

Limitations

  • Converting small flows from t/h to t/s results in very small decimal numbers requiring careful precision handling.
  • The unit t/s is primarily used for very large flow rates; smaller flows are better expressed in kg/s or t/h.
  • This conversion is not suitable for non-mass flow measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 ton (metric)/hour represent?
It represents a mass flow of one metric tonne, or 1000 kilograms, passing a point each hour.

When should I use ton (metric)/second instead of ton (metric)/hour?
Ton (metric)/second is used for very large mass flows, such as rocket propellant or heavy industry pipelines, where per-second measurement is more practical.

Is the conversion between t/h and t/s exact?
The conversion uses the fixed rate 1 t/h = 0.0002777778 t/s based on time unit differences.

Key Terminology

Ton (metric)/hour [t/h]
A unit of mass flow rate equal to 1000 kilograms passing a point every hour, commonly used in industrial mass flow measurements.
Ton (metric)/second [t/s]
A large-scale mass flow rate unit equivalent to 1000 kilograms per second, used for very high flow rates in industries like rocketry and heavy pipelines.
Mass Flow Rate
The quantity of mass passing through a given point or system per unit of time.
