Formula
Formula
klb/hr = g/s × 0.007936641
Multiply any value in grams per second by 0.007936641 to obtain the value in kilopounds per hour.
Worked example
Convert 1000 g/s to klb/hr.
- 01Start with 1000 g/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.007936641 = 7.93664 klb/hr.
Result1000 g/s = 7.93664 klb/hr

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from g/s to klb/hr?
1 g/s equals 0.007936641 klb/hr. To convert, multiply the value in grams per second by 0.007936641.
How do I convert 1 g/s to klb/hr?
1 g/s = 0.00793664 klb/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.007936641.
How do I convert klb/hr back to g/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 125.9979. So 1 klb/hr = 125.998 g/s.
When would I need to convert gram per second to kilopound per hour?
Mass flow conversions between g/s and klb/hr 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).
