Factor1 lt/hr = 0.6222222 lb/s
Converter
lt/hr
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
lb/s
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
lb/s = lt/hr × 0.6222222
Multiply any value in long tons per hour by 0.6222222 to obtain the value in pounds per second.
Worked example
Convert 100 lt/hr to lb/s.
- 01Start with 100 lt/hr.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.6222222 = 62.2222 lb/s.
Result100 lt/hr = 62.2222 lb/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from lt/hr to lb/s?
1 lt/hr equals 0.6222222 lb/s. To convert, multiply the value in long tons per hour by 0.6222222.
How do I convert 1 lt/hr to lb/s?
1 lt/hr = 0.622222 lb/s. For any value, multiply by 0.6222222.
How do I convert lb/s back to lt/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.607143. So 1 lb/s = 1.60714 lt/hr.
When would I need to convert long ton per hour to pound per second?
Mass flow conversions between lt/hr and lb/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).
