Formula

Formula
st/hr = lt/hr × 1.12

Multiply any value in long tons per hour by 1.12 to obtain the value in short tons per hour.

Worked example

Convert 1 lt/hr to st/hr.

  1. 01Start with 1 lt/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1.12 = 1.12 st/hr.
Result1 lt/hr = 1.12 st/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from lt/hr to st/hr?
1 lt/hr equals 1.12 st/hr. To convert, multiply the value in long tons per hour by 1.12.
How do I convert 1 lt/hr to st/hr?
1 lt/hr = 1.12 st/hr. For any value, multiply by 1.12.
How do I convert st/hr back to lt/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.8928571. So 1 st/hr = 0.892857 lt/hr.
When would I need to convert long ton per hour to short ton per hour?
Mass flow conversions between lt/hr and st/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).
