What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms mass flow rates measured in pounds per hour (lb/h) into kilograms per hour (kg/h). It is specially designed for users needing to convert imperial units to SI units for engineering, industrial, and process measurement purposes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in pounds per hour (lb/h) that you want to convert.
  • Select pound/hour as the source unit and kilogram/hour as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to view the equivalent value in kilogram/hour (kg/h).

Key Features

  • Converts mass flow rates from pound/hour to kilogram/hour accurately.
  • Useful for fuel consumption, air, steam, and process flow measurements.
  • Supports engineering and industrial application use cases with common units.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation.

Examples

  • Convert 10 lb/h to kg/h: 10 × 0.45359237 = 4.5359237 kg/h
  • Convert 50 lb/h to kg/h: 50 × 0.45359237 = 22.6796185 kg/h

Common Use Cases

  • Fuel consumption rates for turbines, boilers, and burners in engineering units.
  • Measuring air, steam, or refrigerant mass flow in HVAC and process control.
  • Specifying feed or purge mass flows in industrial process instrumentation.
  • Converting measurements for compatibility between imperial and SI unit systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you are working with mass flow rate units rather than mass alone.
  • Use this conversion to maintain consistent unit reporting across systems.
  • Double-check unit preferences based on regional engineering standards.
  • Apply the precise conversion factor to avoid rounding errors in critical calculations.

Limitations

  • Conversion applies only to mass flow rate, not just mass quantity.
  • Very high precision applications should verify exact conversion factors.
  • Regional differences in unit usage may require verifying measurement context.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound/hour (lb/h) measure?
Pound/hour measures the mass flow rate, indicating how many pounds pass through a point or system each hour.

Why convert from lb/h to kg/h?
Converting to kilogram/hour aligns measurements with the SI unit system, enabling standardized reporting and easier integration in engineering fields.

Is the conversion factor constant for all cases?
Yes, the conversion factor 1 lb/h = 0.45359237 kg/h is fixed, but rounding may occur depending on calculator precision.

Key Terminology

Pound/hour [lb/h]
A mass flow rate unit measuring pounds of mass passing per hour, commonly used in imperial unit systems.
Kilogram/hour [kg/h]
A unit of mass flow rate indicating how many kilograms pass a point or are consumed each hour, used in SI units.
Mass flow rate
The quantity of mass moving through a system over a given time interval.
