Formula
Formula
g/hr = lb/s × 1632933
Multiply any value in pounds per second by 1632933 to obtain the value in grams per hour.
Worked example
Convert 1 lb/s to g/hr.
- 01Start with 1 lb/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1632933 = 1.63293e+6 g/hr.
Result1 lb/s = 1.63293e+6 g/hr

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from lb/s to g/hr?
1 lb/s equals 1632933 g/hr. To convert, multiply the value in pounds per second by 1632933.
How do I convert 1 lb/s to g/hr?
1 lb/s = 1.63293e+6 g/hr. For any value, multiply by 1632933.
How do I convert g/hr back to lb/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 6.123952e-7. So 1 g/hr = 6.12395e-7 lb/s.
When would I need to convert pound per second to gram per hour?
Mass flow conversions between lb/s 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).
