Factor1 g/s = 0.003968321 st/hr
Converter
g/s
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
st/hr
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
st/hr = g/s × 0.003968321
Multiply any value in grams per second by 0.003968321 to obtain the value in short tons per hour.
Worked example
Convert 1000 g/s to st/hr.
- 01Start with 1000 g/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.003968321 = 3.96832 st/hr.
Result1000 g/s = 3.96832 st/hr

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from g/s to st/hr?
1 g/s equals 0.003968321 st/hr. To convert, multiply the value in grams per second by 0.003968321.
How do I convert 1 g/s to st/hr?
1 g/s = 0.00396832 st/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.003968321.
How do I convert st/hr back to g/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 251.9958. So 1 st/hr = 251.996 g/s.
When would I need to convert gram per second to short ton per hour?
Mass flow conversions between g/s and st/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).
