Formula
g/min = lb/s × 27215.54
Multiply any value in pounds per second by 27215.54 to obtain the value in grams per minute.
Worked example
Convert 1 lb/s to g/min.
- 01Start with 1 lb/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 27215.54 = 27215.5 g/min.
Result1 lb/s = 27215.5 g/min

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from lb/s to g/min?
1 lb/s equals 27215.54 g/min. To convert, multiply the value in pounds per second by 27215.54.
How do I convert 1 lb/s to g/min?
1 lb/s = 27215.5 g/min. For any value, multiply by 27215.54.
How do I convert g/min back to lb/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 3.674371e-5. So 1 g/min = 3.67437e-5 lb/s.
When would I need to convert pound per second to gram per minute?
Mass flow conversions between lb/s and g/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).
