Mass Flow Rate

st/hrtoklb/hr

Convert short tons per hour (st/hr) to kilopounds per hour (klb/hr).

Factor1 st/hr = 2 klb/hr

Converter

st/hr

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
20klb/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
klb/hr = st/hr × 2

Multiply any value in short tons per hour by 2 to obtain the value in kilopounds per hour.

Worked example

Convert 10 st/hr to klb/hr.

  1. 01Start with 10 st/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 2 = 20 klb/hr.
Result10 st/hr = 20 klb/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from st/hr to klb/hr?
1 st/hr equals 2 klb/hr. To convert, multiply the value in short tons per hour by 2.
How do I convert 1 st/hr to klb/hr?
1 st/hr = 2 klb/hr. For any value, multiply by 2.
How do I convert klb/hr back to st/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.5. So 1 klb/hr = 0.5 st/hr.
When would I need to convert short ton per hour to kilopound per hour?
Mass flow conversions between st/hr and klb/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).
