Factor1 g/s = 0.002204623 lb/s
Converter
g/s
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
lb/s
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
lb/s = g/s × 0.002204623
Multiply any value in grams per second by 0.002204623 to obtain the value in pounds per second.
Worked example
Convert 1000 g/s to lb/s.
- 01Start with 1000 g/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.002204623 = 2.20462 lb/s.
Result1000 g/s = 2.20462 lb/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from g/s to lb/s?
1 g/s equals 0.002204623 lb/s. To convert, multiply the value in grams per second by 0.002204623.
How do I convert 1 g/s to lb/s?
1 g/s = 0.00220462 lb/s. For any value, multiply by 0.002204623.
How do I convert lb/s back to g/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 453.5924. So 1 lb/s = 453.592 g/s.
When would I need to convert gram per second to pound per second?
Mass flow conversions between g/s 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).
