How to Convert Pound per Hour to Kilogram per Minute
- 1 lb/h = 0.007559872833 kg/min
- 1 kg/min = 132.2773573 lb/h
- Example: convert 15 lb/h to kg/min: 15 lb/h = 15 × 0.007559872833 kg/min = 0.1133980925 kg/min
Formula
kg/min = lb/h × 0.007559872833333
or kg/min = lb/h ÷ 132.2773573109
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 lb/h = 0.45359237/3600 kg/s.
- 1 kg/min = 1/60 kg/s.
- 1 lb/h = 0.0001259978805556 kg/s ÷ 0.01666666666667 kg/s per kg/min = 0.007559872833333 kg/min
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Pound per Hour definition: pound per hour; Kilogram per Minute definition: kilogram per minute.
Worked examples
- A reading of 1000 lb/h converts to 7.559872833 kg/min.
1000 lb/h × 0.007559872833 = 7.559872833 kg/min - A value of 25000 lb/h is 188.9968208 kg/min.
25000 lb/h × 0.007559872833 = 188.9968208 kg/min
