lb/stoklb/min
Convert pounds per second (lb/s) to kilopounds per minute (klb/min).
Factor1 lb/s = 0.06 klb/min
Converter
lb/s
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result

Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
klb/min = lb/s × 0.06
Multiply any value in pounds per second by 0.06 to obtain the value in kilopounds per minute.
Worked example
Convert 100 lb/s to klb/min.
- 01Start with 100 lb/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.06 = 6 klb/min.
Result100 lb/s = 6 klb/min

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from lb/s to klb/min?
1 lb/s equals 0.06 klb/min. To convert, multiply the value in pounds per second by 0.06.
How do I convert 1 lb/s to klb/min?
1 lb/s = 0.06 klb/min. For any value, multiply by 0.06.
How do I convert klb/min back to lb/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 16.66667. So 1 klb/min = 16.6667 lb/s.
When would I need to convert pound per second to kilopound per minute?
Mass flow conversions between lb/s and klb/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).
