What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change values from hectogram per second (hg/s), a metric unit of mass flow rate, to pound per second (lb/s), an imperial unit. It helps facilitate transitions between these units for various industrial and scientific uses.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in hectogram/second you want to convert.
  • Select hectogram/second as the input unit and pound/second as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in pound/second.

Key Features

  • Converts mass flow rates from hectogram/second to pound/second accurately according to defined conversion rate.
  • Browser-based tool for easy and quick unit conversions without installation.
  • Supports applications in chemical processing, aerospace propulsion, food and pharmaceutical dosing, and power generation.

Examples

  • 5 hg/s equals 1.10231131 lb/s.
  • 10 hg/s equals 2.204622622 lb/s.

Common Use Cases

  • Dosing of granular or powdered materials in food and pharmaceutical production.
  • Measuring reagent or product flow in bench-scale chemical reactors.
  • Specifying fuel flow rates for laboratory engines and propulsion tests.
  • Reporting steam, feedwater, or process fluids in industrial power plants.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent unit definitions to maintain conversion accuracy.
  • Verify that measured flow rates reflect steady-state conditions for valid results.
  • Cross-check converted values when integrating metric and imperial units in systems.

Limitations

  • Conversion may have minor rounding differences due to decimal precision.
  • Does not accommodate transient or varying mass flow rates over time.
  • Requires users to confirm compatibility across system components to prevent errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hectogram per second (hg/s)?
A hectogram per second represents the flow of mass where 100 grams of material pass through a point each second.

Why convert from hg/s to lb/s?
Converting between these units helps correlate metric-based lab measurements with industrial processes using imperial units.

Can this converter be used for transient flow rates?
No, this tool assumes steady-state flow and does not account for time-varying mass flow.

Key Terminology

Hectogram per second [hg/s]
A metric mass flow unit indicating 100 grams of mass passing a point each second.
Pound per second [lb/s]
An imperial mass flow unit representing the number of pounds of mass moving per second.
Mass flow rate
The quantity of mass passing through a surface or point in a given time interval.
