How to Convert Kilograms per hour to Grams per second

Formula

To convert Kilograms per hour (kg/hr) to Grams per second (g/s): multiply by 0.277778

Step-by-Step

  1. Start with your value in Kilograms per hour (kg/hr).
  2. Multiply by 0.277778 to perform the conversion.
  3. The result is your value expressed in Grams per second (g/s).

Conversion Factor

1 kg/hr = 0.277778 g/s

Reverse Factor

1 g/s = 3.6 kg/hr

Worked Example

Convert 25 Kilograms per hour to Grams per second: 25 kg/hr = 6.94444 g/s

About Kilogram per hour (kg/hr)

A metric mass-flow unit used for industrial process streams, boiler steam output, refinery throughput, and bulk material handling. Chemical plant material balances are routinely computed in kg/hr. A steam boiler might produce 10,000 kg/hr; an espresso machine steam wand is ~15 kg/hr of steam. Converting kg/hr to lb/hr (×2.205) is common for US/international equipment comparison.

About Gram per second (g/s)

A metric mass-flow unit used for small-scale processes: laboratory experiments, fuel-injector output, automotive engine airflow meters (e.g., MAF sensor typical reading 10–150 g/s depending on throttle), and medical gas delivery. Engine-management data logs, dyno testing, and powertrain calibration files almost always use g/s for airflow.
