Formula

Formula
lb/day = st/hr × 48000

Multiply any value in short tons per hour by 48000 to obtain the value in pounds per day.

Worked example

Convert 1 st/hr to lb/day.

  1. 01Start with 1 st/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 48000 = 48000 lb/day.
Result1 st/hr = 48000 lb/day

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from st/hr to lb/day?
1 st/hr equals 48000 lb/day. To convert, multiply the value in short tons per hour by 48000.
How do I convert 1 st/hr to lb/day?
1 st/hr = 48000 lb/day. For any value, multiply by 48000.
How do I convert lb/day back to st/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 2.083333e-5. So 1 lb/day = 2.08333e-5 st/hr.
When would I need to convert short ton per hour to pound per day?
Mass flow conversions between st/hr and lb/day 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).
