Formula
Formula
lb/hr = mg/min × 0.0001322774
Multiply any value in milligrams per minute by 0.0001322774 to obtain the value in pounds per hour.
Worked example
Convert 10000 mg/min to lb/hr.
- 01Start with 10000 mg/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 0.0001322774 = 1.32277 lb/hr.
Result10000 mg/min = 1.32277 lb/hr

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mg/min to lb/hr?
1 mg/min equals 0.0001322774 lb/hr. To convert, multiply the value in milligrams per minute by 0.0001322774.
How do I convert 1 mg/min to lb/hr?
1 mg/min = 0.000132277 lb/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.0001322774.
How do I convert lb/hr back to mg/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 7559.873. So 1 lb/hr = 7559.87 mg/min.
When would I need to convert milligram per minute to pound per hour?
Mass flow conversions between mg/min 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).
