FAQ

What is the conversion factor from lb/min to mg/s?
1 lb/min equals 7559.873 mg/s. To convert, multiply the value in pounds per minute by 7559.873.
How do I convert 1 lb/min to mg/s?
1 lb/min = 7559.87 mg/s. For any value, multiply by 7559.873.
How do I convert mg/s back to lb/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0001322774. So 1 mg/s = 0.000132277 lb/min.
When would I need to convert pound per minute to milligram per second?
Mass flow conversions between lb/min and mg/s 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).
