I m not sure these are the best options but they ll definitely get the job done   declare  durations table       Duration int    Insert into  durations Duration  values 60   80   90   150   180   1000   --Option 1 - Manually concatenate the values together select right  0    convert varchar Duration   60  2          right  0    convert varchar Duration   60  2  from  Durations  --Option 2 - Make use of the time variable available since SQL Server 2008 select left convert time DATEADD minute Duration 0   5  from  durations  GO

You can convert the duration to a date and then format it   DECLARE      FirstDate datetime       LastDate datetime  SELECT      FirstDate    2000-01-01 09 00 00        LastDate    2000-01-01 11 30 00   SELECT CONVERT varchar 12           DATEADD minute  DATEDIFF minute   FirstDate   LastDate   0   114       Results  02 30 00 000      For less precision  modify the size of the varchar    SELECT CONVERT varchar 5           DATEADD minute  DATEDIFF minute   FirstDate   LastDate   0   114       Results  02 30

I would do the following  copy-paste the whole stuff below into immediate window   query window and execute   DECLARE  foo int DECLARE  unclefoo smalldatetime SET  foo   DATEDIFF minute  CAST  2013 01 01 00 00 00  AS datetime  CAST  2013 01 01 00 03 59  AS datetime   -- AS  Duration  Minutes    SET  unclefoo   DATEADD minute   foo   2000 01 01    SELECT CAST  unclefoo AS time     foo stores the value you generate in your question  The  trick  comes by then  we create a smalldatetime variable  in my case it s yyyy mm dd format  and increment it with your int value  then display  or store if you want  the time part only
