FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kg/min to lb/hr?
1 kg/min equals 132.2774 lb/hr. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms per minute by 132.2774.
How do I convert 1 kg/min to lb/hr?
1 kg/min = 132.277 lb/hr. For any value, multiply by 132.2774.
How do I convert lb/hr back to kg/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.007559873. So 1 lb/hr = 0.00755987 kg/min.
When would I need to convert kilogram per minute to pound per hour?
Mass flow conversions between kg/min and lb/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).
