What Is This Tool?

This converter changes mass flow values measured in pound/hour to metric tons per second. It helps integrate measurements from imperial units into large-scale metric systems commonly used in industries like aerospace, heavy manufacturing, and hydrology.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the mass flow rate value in pound/hour (lb/h) into the input field.
  • Select pound/hour [lb/h] as the source unit if needed.
  • Choose ton (metric)/second [t/s] as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in t/s.
  • Use the converted value for analysis or comparison in metric-based systems.

Key Features

  • Converts pound/hour (lb/h) to metric ton/second (t/s) for mass flow rates
  • Supports large-scale industrial and scientific applications
  • Easy-to-use interface for quick conversions
  • Browser-based tool with no software installation required
  • Displays results based on accurate conversion rates and formulas

Examples

  • 1000 lb/h equals 0.000126 ton (metric)/second [t/s]
  • 5000 lb/h equals 0.00063 ton (metric)/second [t/s]

Common Use Cases

  • Converting fuel consumption rates for gas turbines, boilers, and burners from imperial to metric units
  • Measuring air, steam, or refrigerant flows in HVAC and process engineering using imperial inputs
  • Specifying feed or purge flows in industrial process control and instrumentation
  • Expressing large propellant flow rates for rocket engines in metric tons per second
  • Determining throughput in large pipelines or bulk material conveyors in heavy industry
  • Analyzing mass discharge of large rivers or high-capacity pumping systems

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion primarily for very large mass flow rates where metric tons per second are more convenient
  • Verify unit compatibility before converting between imperial and metric units
  • Apply the tool for industries requiring integration of flow data across different measurement systems
  • For smaller flow rates, consider using kilograms per second or pound/hour for better practicality

Limitations

  • The ton (metric)/second unit suits only very large flow rates due to its large scale
  • Conversion precision may be affected by rounding at very small flow values
  • Be aware of unit system differences: pound/hour is imperial while ton/second is metric-based

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound/hour (lb/h) measure?
Pound/hour (lb/h) is a mass flow rate unit describing how many pounds of mass pass a point or through a system every hour, commonly used in imperial measurement systems.

Why use ton (metric)/second (t/s) units?
Ton (metric)/second is used to express very large mass flow rates conveniently, often in heavy industry, aerospace, or hydrology where flows exceed 1000 kilograms per second.

Is this conversion suitable for small flow rates?
No, due to its large scale, ton (metric)/second is practical only for very large flows; smaller flows are better represented in kilograms per second or pounds per hour.

Key Terminology

Pound/hour [lb/h]
A unit of mass flow rate indicating pounds of mass passing per hour, mainly used in engineering based on imperial units.
Ton (metric)/second [t/s]
A metric mass flow rate unit equal to 1000 kilograms passing a point every second, convenient for very large flows.
Mass flow rate
The amount of mass passing through a point or system per unit time.
