Pounds per Second to Kilograms per Minute (lb/s to kg/min)
1 pound per second (lb/s) = 27.2155422 kilograms per minute (kg/min). 1 kg/min = 0.03674371036 lb/s. Example: 15 lb/s = 15 × 27.2155422 = 408.233133 kg/min.

How to Convert Pound per Second to Kilogram per Minute
- 1 lb/s = 27.2155422 kg/min
- 1 kg/min = 0.03674371036 lb/s
- Example: convert 15 lb/s to kg/min: 15 lb/s = 15 × 27.2155422 kg/min = 408.233133 kg/min
Formula
kg/min = lb/s × 27.2155422
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 lb/s = 0.45359237 kg/s.
- 1 kg/min = 1/60 kg/s.
- 1 lb/s = 0.45359237 kg/s ÷ 0.01666666666667 kg/s per kg/min = 27.2155422 kg/min
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Pound per Second definition: pound per second; Kilogram per Minute definition: kilogram per minute.
Worked examples
- A reading of 10 lb/s converts to 272.155422 kg/min.
10 lb/s × 27.2155422 = 272.155422 kg/min - A value of 200 lb/s is 5443.10844 kg/min.
200 lb/s × 27.2155422 = 5443.10844 kg/min
