Formula
Formula
lb/hr = klb/min × 60000
Multiply any value in kilopounds per minute by 60000 to obtain the value in pounds per hour.
Worked example
Convert 1 klb/min to lb/hr.
- 01Start with 1 klb/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 60000 = 60000 lb/hr.
Result1 klb/min = 60000 lb/hr

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from klb/min to lb/hr?
1 klb/min equals 60000 lb/hr. To convert, multiply the value in kilopounds per minute by 60000.
How do I convert 1 klb/min to lb/hr?
1 klb/min = 60000 lb/hr. For any value, multiply by 60000.
How do I convert lb/hr back to klb/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.666667e-5. So 1 lb/hr = 1.66667e-5 klb/min.
When would I need to convert kilopound per minute to pound per hour?
Mass flow conversions between klb/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).
