          The Time field type does not represent a duration. It represents a single point in time, without associated Date information - for example, 19:00:00.000Z. Because the displayed value of a Time field is adjusted for the time zone of the running user, it should not be (mis-)used to treat the hours and minutes as a duration. This will result in unexpected results when users in different time zones view the data.



          As a consequence of the above, summing Time values is not meaningful, any more than summing DateTime values would be.

          Time field doesn't support any aggregate function but there is a workaround.
          You can create a formula field (Number type) where time will always be in hours. So if it's 01:30 in the time field then your formula will have 1.5 after converting it to hours from milliseconds.



          Now, you can use the aggregate function in the number type formula field.
