Factor1 mg/s = 0.007936641 lb/hr
Converter
mg/s
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
lb/hr
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
lb/hr = mg/s × 0.007936641
Multiply any value in milligrams per second by 0.007936641 to obtain the value in pounds per hour.
Worked example
Convert 1000 mg/s to lb/hr.
- 01Start with 1000 mg/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.007936641 = 7.93664 lb/hr.
Result1000 mg/s = 7.93664 lb/hr

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mg/s to lb/hr?
1 mg/s equals 0.007936641 lb/hr. To convert, multiply the value in milligrams per second by 0.007936641.
How do I convert 1 mg/s to lb/hr?
1 mg/s = 0.00793664 lb/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.007936641.
How do I convert lb/hr back to mg/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 125.9979. So 1 lb/hr = 125.998 mg/s.
When would I need to convert milligram per second to pound per hour?
Mass flow conversions between mg/s 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).
