I have asked 4 master architects and still have no answer.

When a harvester is placed and its actual rate is 8.67 K/hr, how much is that?It is obviously not 8670 per hour so is it 867 per hour. I am asking so I can plan when to pick up my harvesters resources. Please share any tips.

When I looked in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) thread stickied at the top of this forum, I found the following tidbit:

===================================================

Q-3.5: How much do harvesters produce?

A-3.5: It is dependent on the extraction rate of the harvester in question. The extraction rates vary from harvester to harvester depending on the experimentation results during its crafting.

The general formula is:

Output per hour = Extraction rate in kg/h * 60 * density% = # units produced / hour

Output per day = Extraction rate in kg/h * 1440 * density% = # units / day

Example: A medium mineral harvester with an extraction rate of 6 kg/h on a 75% aluminum density will give you

= 6 * 60 * 0.75 = 270 units per hour production or 6480 per day

A handy rule of thumb is that for a 70% density you will get roughly 1k output per BER daily.

Test Center: Rikka R'zrPoint, Master Artisan, Master Architect - showroom just south of Theed at -5370, 3139

Another way to put it, if the display on your harvester says 8.67 kg/h then you'll get 8.67 units per real time minute.

** Please refer to Elyssa's answer

It doesn't say K/hr.

It says Kg/hr as in Kilogram as in a unit of weight not a numerical number.
