Formula
Formula
lb/s = g/hr × 6.123952e-7
Multiply any value in grams per hour by 6.123952e-7 to obtain the value in pounds per second.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 g/hr to lb/s.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 g/hr.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 6.123952e-7 = 0.612395 lb/s.
Result1.00000e+6 g/hr = 0.612395 lb/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from g/hr to lb/s?
1 g/hr equals 6.123952e-7 lb/s. To convert, multiply the value in grams per hour by 6.123952e-7.
How do I convert 1 g/hr to lb/s?
1 g/hr = 6.12395e-7 lb/s. For any value, multiply by 6.123952e-7.
How do I convert lb/s back to g/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1632933. So 1 lb/s = 1.63293e+6 g/hr.
When would I need to convert gram per hour to pound per second?
Mass flow conversions between g/hr and lb/s are common in material balances, process stream summaries, bulk solids handling, custody transfer, and equipment sizing where kg/hr, t/hr, lb/hr, and lb/s may all appear in different datasheets or vendor documents.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
