How to Convert Kilogram per Hour to Pound per Minute
- 1 kg/h = 0.03674371036 lb/min
- 1 lb/min = 27.2155422 kg/h
- Example: convert 15 kg/h to lb/min: 15 kg/h = 15 × 0.03674371036 lb/min = 0.5511556555 lb/min
Formula
lb/min = kg/h × 0.03674371036415
or lb/min = kg/h ÷ 27.2155422
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 kg/h = 1/3600 kg/s.
- 1 lb/min = 0.45359237/60 kg/s.
- 1 kg/h = 0.0002777777777778 kg/s ÷ 0.007559872833333 kg/s per lb/min = 0.03674371036415 lb/min
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilogram per Hour definition: kilogram per hour; Pound per Minute definition: pound per minute.
Worked examples
- A reading of 100 kg/h converts to 3.674371036 lb/min.
100 kg/h × 0.03674371036 = 3.674371036 lb/min - A value of 1000 kg/h is 36.74371036 lb/min.
1000 kg/h × 0.03674371036 = 36.74371036 lb/min
