FAQ

What is the conversion factor from lb/hr to lb/min?
1 lb/hr equals 0.01666667 lb/min. To convert, multiply the value in pounds per hour by 0.01666667.
How do I convert 1 lb/hr to lb/min?
1 lb/hr = 0.0166667 lb/min. For any value, multiply by 0.01666667.
How do I convert lb/min back to lb/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60. So 1 lb/min = 60 lb/hr.
When would I need to convert pound per hour to pound per minute?
Mass flow conversions between lb/hr and lb/min 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).
