What does 1 gigagram per second represent?

It is a mass flow unit representing one billion grams or one million kilograms transferred every second, used for very large mass flow rates.

Why convert Gg/s to lb/h?

This conversion is valuable to express extremely large mass flow rates in pounds per hour, a unit commonly preferred in many engineering fields using imperial units.

Is this conversion suitable for small mass flow rates?

No, due to the large difference in magnitude, this converter is best used for exceptionally large mass flow rates rather than small-scale values.
