Convert Pounds per Second to Tonnes per Hour (lb/s to t/h)
1 pound per second (lb/s) = 1.632932532 tonnes per hour (t/h). 1 t/h = 0.6123951727 lb/s. Example: 15 lb/s = 15 × 1.632932532 = 24.49398798 t/h.

How to Convert Pound per Second to Tonne per Hour
- 1 lb/s = 1.632932532 t/h
- 1 t/h = 0.6123951727 lb/s
- Example: convert 15 lb/s to t/h: 15 lb/s = 15 × 1.632932532 t/h = 24.49398798 t/h
Formula
t/h = lb/s × 1.632932532
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 lb/s = 0.45359237 kg/s.
- 1 t/h = 1000/3600 kg/s ≈ 0.2778 kg/s.
- 1 lb/s = 0.45359237 kg/s ÷ 0.2777777777778 kg/s per t/h = 1.632932532 t/h
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Pound per Second definition: pound per second; Tonne per Hour definition: tonne per hour.
Worked examples
- A reading of 10 lb/s converts to 16.32932532 t/h.
10 lb/s × 1.632932532 = 16.32932532 t/h - A value of 200 lb/s is 326.5865064 t/h.
200 lb/s × 1.632932532 = 326.5865064 t/h
