FAQ

What is the conversion factor from lb/day to lt/hr?
1 lb/day equals 1.860119e-5 lt/hr. To convert, multiply the value in pounds per day by 1.860119e-5.
How do I convert 1 lb/day to lt/hr?
1 lb/day = 1.86012e-5 lt/hr. For any value, multiply by 1.860119e-5.
How do I convert lt/hr back to lb/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 53760. So 1 lt/hr = 53760 lb/day.
When would I need to convert pound per day to long ton per hour?
Mass flow conversions between lb/day and lt/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).
