How Kilograms per Hour to Liters per Hour Converter Works?
The Kilograms per Hour to Liters per Hour Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the mass flow rate in kilograms per hour (kg/h).
- 2
Set the fluid density, such as 0.832 kg/L for diesel.
- 3
Read the volume flow in liters per hour (L/h), then divide by 60 for liters per minute.
Kilograms per Hour to Liters per Hour Converter Formula
The Kilograms per Hour to Liters per Hour Converter formula is:
Volume flow (L/h) = Mass flow (kg/h) ÷ Density (kg/L)L/min = L/h ÷ 60; US gal/h = L/h ÷ 3.785.
Worked example
A generator burning 50 kg/h of diesel uses 50 ÷ 0.832 = 60.1 L/h (1.0 L/min).
Engine data sheets list specific fuel consumption in g/kWh. A diesel genset at 210 g/kWh and 300 kW load burns 63 kg/h, or 75.7 L/h.

What is Kilograms per Hour to Liters per Hour Converter?
The Kilograms per Hour to Liters per Hour Converter is a tool that converts mass flow into volume flow with fluid density. Coriolis meters and engine data report kg/h, while pumps and tanks work in L/h.
The conversion holds for any steady flow of liquid. For gases, use the gas density at line pressure and temperature.
