About Pound per hour (lb/hr)
An imperial mass-flow unit dominant in US HVAC, boiler and steam-engineering work, petroleum refining, and chemical process plants. Boiler capacities in the US are traditionally rated in lb/hr of steam output (e.g., "500 horsepower boiler" ≈ 17,250 lb/hr of saturated steam). Fuel consumption on large engines and turbines is frequently quoted in lb/hr.
About Pound per minute (lb/min)
An imperial mass-flow unit used for medium-timescale US engineering applications — HVAC humidification, compressed-air purging, and packaging-line mass dispensing. Also appears in older internal-combustion-engine specifications where lb/min airflow was used before the industry standardized on g/s or kg/hr.
