Kilogram per minute quick reference
| Kilogram per minute | Kilogram per hour | Pound per hour | Kilogram per second |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg/min | = 60 kg/h | ≈ 132.2773573 lb/h | ≈ 0.01666666667 kg/s |
| 10 kg/min | = 600 kg/h | ≈ 1322.773573 lb/h | ≈ 0.1666666667 kg/s |
| 100 kg/min | = 6000 kg/h | ≈ 13227.73573 lb/h | ≈ 1.666666667 kg/s |
| 1000 kg/min | = 60000 kg/h | ≈ 132277.3573 lb/h | ≈ 16.66666667 kg/s |
