ton (metric)/hour [t/h] Unit Converter

Definition of ton (metric)/hour [t/h] unit

Metric ton per hour (t/h) is a mass-flow unit describing the transfer of one metric ton, equal to 1,000 kilograms, during one hour. It corresponds to approximately 0.2778 kilograms per second and measures throughput rather than volume.

History of ton (metric)/hour [t/h] unit

The metric ton, or tonne, emerged from the metric system developed in France during the late eighteenth century, where standardized decimal measures replaced regional units. Defined as 1,000 kilograms, the tonne became widely adopted for commerce, engineering, mining, and transportation. Expressing it per hour created a practical rate for industrial material handling and process control. Although not an SI base unit, the tonne is accepted for use with SI, while mass flow is formally expressed in kilograms per second. The symbol t/h remains common in technical and commercial documentation worldwide.

Applications of ton (metric)/hour [t/h] unit

Today, t/h is used to specify the capacity of conveyors, feeders, crushers, pumps, and processing plants. Grain elevators, cement works, mines, waste facilities, and chemical factories use it to monitor production and loading rates. For example, a conveyor rated at 100 t/h can transport 100 metric tons of bulk material in one hour under stated operating conditions.
