Formula

Formula
klb/min = st/hr × 0.03333333

Multiply any value in short tons per hour by 0.03333333 to obtain the value in kilopounds per minute.

Worked example

Convert 100 st/hr to klb/min.

  1. 01Start with 100 st/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.03333333 = 3.33333 klb/min.
Result100 st/hr = 3.33333 klb/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from st/hr to klb/min?
1 st/hr equals 0.03333333 klb/min. To convert, multiply the value in short tons per hour by 0.03333333.
How do I convert 1 st/hr to klb/min?
1 st/hr = 0.0333333 klb/min. For any value, multiply by 0.03333333.
How do I convert klb/min back to st/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 30. So 1 klb/min = 30 st/hr.
When would I need to convert short ton per hour to kilopound per minute?
Mass flow conversions between st/hr and klb/min 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).
