  • 10 pound/hour/square foot equals 4.535923745 kilogram/hour/square foot after conversion

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying steam or water mass flux through boiler or heat-exchanger tubes in power and process industries
  • Reporting air or particulate mass flux through HVAC ducts and environmental control surfaces
  • Monitoring pollutant or particulate deposition rates in environmental studies using imperial area units
  • Controlling spray or coating application rates in industrial manufacturing
  • Assessing condensate or moisture flux in building envelopes and HVAC components

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure area is consistently defined as square foot when converting units
  • Confirm time unit remains one hour for valid conversions
  • Use this tool for standardized reporting when working with both imperial and metric systems
  • Be aware of environmental factors like temperature and pressure which the conversion does not address
  • Consider further unit conversions if metric area units are required for international use

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes consistent definitions of square foot and hour units
  • Does not factor in temperature or pressure variations affecting mass transfer
  • Imperial area units may not be widely used in some scientific contexts, requiring additional conversions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound/hour/square foot measure?
It measures mass flux density, indicating mass in pounds flowing through one square foot of area per hour.

Why convert pound/hour/square foot to kilogram/hour/square foot?
