FAQ

What is the conversion factor from t/hr to lb/hr?
1 t/hr equals 2204.623 lb/hr. To convert, multiply the value in metric tonnes per hour by 2204.623.
How do I convert 1 t/hr to lb/hr?
1 t/hr = 2204.62 lb/hr. For any value, multiply by 2204.623.
How do I convert lb/hr back to t/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0004535924. So 1 lb/hr = 0.000453592 t/hr.
When would I need to convert metric tonne per hour to pound per hour?
Mass flow conversions between t/hr 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).
