Formula
Formula
lb/s = g/min × 3.674371e-5
Multiply any value in grams per minute by 3.674371e-5 to obtain the value in pounds per second.
Worked example
Convert 10000 g/min to lb/s.
- 01Start with 10000 g/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 3.674371e-5 = 0.367437 lb/s.
Result10000 g/min = 0.367437 lb/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from g/min to lb/s?
1 g/min equals 3.674371e-5 lb/s. To convert, multiply the value in grams per minute by 3.674371e-5.
How do I convert 1 g/min to lb/s?
1 g/min = 3.67437e-5 lb/s. For any value, multiply by 3.674371e-5.
How do I convert lb/s back to g/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 27215.54. So 1 lb/s = 27215.5 g/min.
When would I need to convert gram per minute to pound per second?
Mass flow conversions between g/min 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).
