How to Convert Pounds per second to Pounds per minute
Formula
To convert Pounds per second (lb/s) to Pounds per minute (lb/min): multiply by 60
Step-by-Step
- Start with your value in Pounds per second (lb/s).
- Multiply by 60 to perform the conversion.
- The result is your value expressed in Pounds per minute (lb/min).
Conversion Factor
1 lb/s = 60 lb/min
Reverse Factor
1 lb/min = 0.0166667 lb/s
Worked Example
Convert 25 Pounds per second to Pounds per minute: 25 lb/s = 1500 lb/min
About Pound per second (lb/s)
An imperial mass-flow unit used in US aerospace engineering, combustion analysis, and some heavy-industry process engineering. Turbojet engine specification sheets and US-edition combustion textbooks commonly use lb/s for air and fuel flow. 1 lb/s ≈ 0.454 kg/s.
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.
