Formula

Formula
lb/s = t/hr × 0.6123952

Multiply any value in metric tonnes per hour by 0.6123952 to obtain the value in pounds per second.

Worked example

Convert 10 t/hr to lb/s.

  1. 01Start with 10 t/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 0.6123952 = 6.12395 lb/s.
Result10 t/hr = 6.12395 lb/s

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from t/hr to lb/s?
1 t/hr equals 0.6123952 lb/s. To convert, multiply the value in metric tonnes per hour by 0.6123952.
How do I convert 1 t/hr to lb/s?
1 t/hr = 0.612395 lb/s. For any value, multiply by 0.6123952.
How do I convert lb/s back to t/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.632933. So 1 lb/s = 1.63293 t/hr.
When would I need to convert metric tonne per hour to pound per second?
Mass flow conversions between t/hr and lb/s 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).
