FAQ

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