What Is This Tool?

This tool converts mass flow rates from pound per hour (lb/h), an imperial unit commonly used in engineering, to kilogram per second (kg/s), the SI unit used globally for precise mass flow measurement.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the mass flow rate value in pound/hour [lb/h].
  • Select pound/hour as the input unit and kilogram/second as the output unit.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in kilogram/second [kg/s].

Key Features

  • Accurately converts pound/hour [lb/h] to kilogram/second [kg/s] based on established conversion rates.
  • Useful in industries like aerospace, power generation, HVAC, and chemical processing.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring additional software.

Examples

  • Converting 10 lb/h results in 0.001259979 kg/s.
  • Converting 500 lb/h results in 0.06299895 kg/s.

Common Use Cases

  • Determining fuel consumption rates for gas turbines and boilers using imperial units.
  • Measuring air, steam, or refrigerant mass flows in HVAC systems with imperial measurements.
  • Specifying feed or purge mass flows in industrial process control and instrumentation.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure steady-state flow conditions for accurate conversion results.
  • Verify unit selections carefully to avoid conversion errors.
  • Use this tool when integrating data from imperial systems into international projects.

Limitations

  • Conversion relies on fixed decimal factors; slight rounding differences may occur.
  • Does not consider changes in density or temperature affecting mass flow.
  • Assumes steady-state flow without transient variations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound/hour [lb/h] measure?
It measures the mass flow rate indicating how many pounds of mass pass through a point per hour in imperial units.

Why convert lb/h to kg/s?
Converting to kg/s translates data into SI units used internationally, vital for engineering standards and global equipment specifications.

Can this conversion handle transient flow changes?
No, the conversion assumes steady-state flow and does not account for transient or variable flow conditions.

Key Terminology

Pound/hour [lb/h]
An imperial unit expressing the mass flow rate as pounds of mass passing per hour.
Kilogram/second [kg/s]
An SI derived unit representing mass flow rate in kilograms per second.
Mass Flow Rate
The amount of mass passing through a specified cross-section per unit of time.
