What Is This Tool?
This converter facilitates the conversion of mass flow rates from gram/hour (g/h), a metric unit commonly used for very low mass-flow processes, into pound/minute (lb/min), an imperial unit widely applied in engineering fields. It supports users in translating measurements accurately between these two units.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert gram/hour to pound/minute?
-
Converting gram/hour to pound/minute helps translate low-rate mass flow data from metric units into imperial units commonly used in industries such as aerospace and process engineering.
-
What is the conversion rate from gram/hour to pound/minute?
-
The conversion factor is 1 gram/hour equals 0.0000367437 pound/minute.
-
Are temperature and pressure considered in this conversion?
-
No, this conversion uses a simple multiplication factor and does not account for temperature or pressure variations affecting mass flow.
Key Terminology
-
Gram/hour [g/h]
-
A unit that measures mass flow rate as grams transported or consumed every hour, mainly used for very low flow rates in scientific and engineering contexts.
-
Pound/minute [lb/min]
-
An imperial unit indicating mass flow rate in pounds per minute, applied in engineering for liquids, gases, and bulk solids.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
A measurement of the amount of mass passing through a cross-section per unit of time.
