  2. Multiply by 7.93663 to perform the conversion.
  3. The result is your value expressed in Pounds per hour (lb/hr).

Conversion Factor

1 g/s = 7.93663 lb/hr

Reverse Factor

1 lb/hr = 0.125998 g/s

Worked Example

Convert 25 Grams per second to Pounds per hour: 25 g/s = 198.416 lb/hr

About Gram per second (g/s)

A metric mass-flow unit equal to exactly 10⁻³ kg/s. g/s is the working unit for small-scale and instrumentation-grade mass-flow measurement applications: automotive Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor output (typical idle 2-4 g/s, cruise 10-30 g/s, wide-open-throttle on a 3.5 L V6 ~100-180 g/s), engine-management data-logging (HP Tuners, EFILive, Cobb AccessPort, OpenECU all report MAF in g/s for North American vehicles), automotive dyno-tuning and powertrain calibration software, OBD-II Mode 01 PID 0x10 (MAF rate) which is defined as g/s per SAE J1979 and ISO 15031-5, laboratory fuel-injector flow-bench measurement using SAE J1832 procedures, medical respiratory-gas delivery (HFNC high-flow nasal cannula 60-120 g/s of warmed/humidified air-O₂ mix per AARC Clinical Practice Guidelines), small-scale chemical-process dosing (Bronkhorst / Sensirion / Honeywell mass-flow controllers commonly used in semiconductor fabs and pharmaceutical manufacturing), and analytical-instrument carrier-gas flows. Convert g/s to kg/s by dividing by 1,000; to lb/min by multiplying by 0.1323; to kg/hr by multiplying by 3.6.

About Pound per hour (lb/hr)

An imperial mass-flow unit (≈ 0.453592 kg/hr = 1.25998 × 10⁻⁴ kg/s). lb/hr is the universal working unit in US HVAC, steam engineering, petroleum refining, and chemical process plants. US boiler ratings are traditionally given in lb/hr of saturated steam output: a 'boiler horsepower' (BHP) is defined as 34.5 lb/hr of saturated steam at 212 °F per ASME PTC 4.1, so a '500 BHP boiler' produces 17,250 lb/hr. ASHRAE Handbook chapters on humidification, central plants, district heating, and refrigeration all use lb/hr. Refinery feed rates appear in lb/hr in older facility documentation (newer plants increasingly use kg/hr internationally and BPD for crude). Fuel consumption on large industrial engines, marine prime movers (with bunker fuel oil), and standby diesels is routinely quoted in lb/hr.

Understanding Grams per second

The Gram per second (symbol: g/s) is a unit of mass flow rate. A metric mass-flow unit equal to exactly 10⁻³ kg/s. g/s is the working unit for small-scale and instrumentation-grade mass-flow measurement applications: automotive Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor output (typical idle 2-4 g/s, cruise 10-30 g/s, wide-open-throttle on a 3.5 L V6 ~100-180 g/s), engine-management data-logging (HP Tuners, EFILive, Cobb AccessPort, OpenECU all report MAF in g/s for North American vehicles), automotive dyno-tuning and powertrain calibration software, OBD-II Mode 01 PID 0x10 (MAF rate) which is defined as g/s per SAE J1979 and ISO 15031-5, laboratory fuel-injector flow-bench measurement using SAE J1832 procedures, medical respiratory-gas delivery (HFNC high-flow nasal cannula 60-120 g/s of warmed/humidified air-O₂ mix per AARC Clinical Practice Guidelines), small-scale chemical-process dosing (Bronkhorst / Sensirion / Honeywell mass-flow controllers commonly used in semiconductor fabs and pharmaceutical manufacturing), and analytical-instrument carrier-gas flows. Convert g/s to kg/s by dividing by 1,000; to lb/min by multiplying by 0.1323; to kg/hr by multiplying by 3.6.

It belongs to the metric measurement system.

Grams per second are commonly used in chemical processing, fuel systems, and environmental monitoring.

Understanding Pounds per hour

The Pound per hour (symbol: lb/hr) is a unit of mass flow rate. An imperial mass-flow unit (≈ 0.453592 kg/hr = 1.25998 × 10⁻⁴ kg/s). lb/hr is the universal working unit in US HVAC, steam engineering, petroleum refining, and chemical process plants. US boiler ratings are traditionally given in lb/hr of saturated steam output: a 'boiler horsepower' (BHP) is defined as 34.5 lb/hr of saturated steam at 212 °F per ASME PTC 4.1, so a '500 BHP boiler' produces 17,250 lb/hr.

Fuel consumption on large industrial engines, marine prime movers (with bunker fuel oil), and standby diesels is routinely quoted in lb/hr.

It belongs to the imperial measurement system.

Pounds per hour are commonly used in chemical processing, fuel systems, and environmental monitoring.
