The kilogram per hour is a practical unit for expressing smaller-scale mass flow rate values.
It became common for expressing smaller industrial and laboratory-scale flows more readably than kilograms per second.
Measurement system: International System of Units (SI, derived). SI equivalent: 1 kg/h = 1/3600 kg/s ≈ 0.000278 kg/s.
