How do I convert lb/hr back to lt/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0004464286. So 1 lb/hr = 0.000446429 lt/hr.
When would I need to convert long ton per hour to pound per hour?
Mass flow conversions between lt/hr and lb/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).
