Explanation

Formula: Kilograms per Second = Kilograms per Hour × 0.000277777778. Why: both units are SI mass-flow-rate scales tied directly to kilograms, grams, and time intervals, so the route follows one exact kilograms-per-second normalization path.

Kilograms per hour (kg/h): a mass-flow-rate unit used for hourly throughput in process, HVAC, and industrial equipment specifications.

Kilograms per second (kg/s): the SI-style base reference for mass flow rate, expressing how many kilograms pass through a system each second.

This route is useful when restating SI mass flow rates between kilogram and gram scales across per-second and per-hour reporting so process calculations stay on the intended basis.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through kilograms per second using fixed mass and time definitions with no offset.
