How to Convert Kilogram per Hour to Pound per Hour
- 1 kg/h = 2.204622622 lb/h
- 1 lb/h = 0.45359237 kg/h
- Example: convert 1000 kg/h to lb/h: 1000 kg/h = 1000 × 2.204622622 lb/h = 2204.622622 lb/h
Formula
lb/h = kg/h × 2.204622621849
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 kg/h = 1/3600 kg/s.
- 1 lb/h = 0.45359237/3600 kg/s.
- 1 kg/h = 0.0002777777777778 kg/s ÷ 0.0001259978805556 kg/s per lb/h = 2.204622621849 lb/h
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilogram per Hour definition: kilogram per hour; Pound per Hour definition: pound per hour.
Worked examples
- 1000 kg/h is 2204.622622 lb/h.
