How to Convert Pound per Hour to Gram per Second
- 1 lb/h = 0.1259978806 g/s
- 1 g/s = 7.936641439 lb/h
- Example: convert 15 lb/h to g/s: 15 lb/h = 15 × 0.1259978806 g/s = 1.889968208 g/s
Formula
g/s = lb/h × 0.1259978805556
or g/s = lb/h ÷ 7.936641438656
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 lb/h = 0.45359237/3600 kg/s.
- 1 g/s = 10⁻³ kg/s.
- 1 lb/h = 0.0001259978805556 kg/s ÷ 0.001 kg/s per g/s = 0.1259978805556 g/s
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Pound per Hour definition: pound per hour; Gram per Second definition: gram per second.
Worked examples
- A reading of 1000 lb/h converts to 125.9978806 g/s.
1000 lb/h × 0.1259978806 = 125.9978806 g/s - A value of 25000 lb/h is 3149.947014 g/s.
25000 lb/h × 0.1259978806 = 3149.947014 g/s
