How Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter Works?
The Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the volume flow rate in liters per hour (L/h).
- 2
Set the fluid density.
- 3
Read the mass flow in kilograms per hour (kg/h) and pounds per hour (lb/h).
Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter Formula
The Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter formula is:
Mass flow (kg/h) = Volume flow (L/h) × Density (kg/L)lb/h = kg/h × 2.2046; kg/s = kg/h ÷ 3,600.
Worked example
A truck engine using 30 L/h of diesel burns 30 × 0.832 = 24.96 kg/h (55.0 lb/h).
Aircraft and ships report fuel flow in kg/h, while flow meters on trucks and boilers often read L/h. Converting both to kg/h gives a fair efficiency comparison.

What is Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter?
The Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter is a tool that converts volume flow into mass flow with fluid density. The tool runs the reverse direction of the kg/h to L/h converter.
Mass flow stays constant along a pipe even when temperature changes volume, so engineers prefer kg/h for energy and emission balances.
What are the uses of Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter?
There are 4 main uses of the Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter: fuel efficiency, emissions, process control and aviation.
Fuel efficiency
Fleet analysts convert L/h meter data into kg/h.
Emissions
Plants convert fuel flow into kg/h for CO₂ calculations.
Process control
Engineers convert flow-meter readings into mass balances.
Aviation
Pilots compare fuel flow gauges in kg/h with planned burn.
Liters per Hour to Kilograms per Hour Converter FAQ
How many kg/h is 100 L/h of petrol?
100 L/h of petrol is about 74.5 kg/h at 0.745 kg/L.
How do I convert kg/h to kg/s?
Divide kg/h by 3,600: 3,600 kg/h equals 1 kg/s.
