lb/min = g/s × 0.1322773573
About Grams per second
The gram per second (g/s) equals 10⁻³ kg/s, a practical laboratory and light-industrial unit. Water flowing from a standard kitchen tap runs at roughly 60-80 g/s; a 3D printer extruder deposits filament at 0.5-2 g/s; an automated pill-dispensing machine doses powders at 1-10 g/s. It is also the preferred unit for small engine fuel-consumption test benches. 1 g/s = 10⁻³ kg/s = 3.6 kg/h.
About Pounds per minute
The pound per minute (lb/min) equals 0.45359237/60 ≈ 7.560×10⁻³ kg/s, the standard unit for US fire-suppression system design (sprinkler flow demand) and HVAC hydronic loop balancing. A fire-sprinkler head at 15 psi discharges roughly 30-40 lb/min of water; industrial humidifiers are rated in lb/min of steam. 1 lb/min ≈ 7.560×10⁻³ kg/s = 60 lb/h.
