Conversion Formula
slug/h = kg/s × 246.6783571
About Kilograms per second
The kilogram per second (kg/s) is the SI coherent derived unit of mass flow rate relevant across all branches of engineering. Jet turbofan engines pass 100-800 kg/s of air through the core and bypass duct combined; drinking-water intake pipelines for a city of one million people sustain flow rates of 1 000-4 000 kg/s. It is the reference unit in the continuity equation and mass-conservation calculations. 1 kg/s = 3 600 kg/h ≈ 2.205 lb/s.
About Slugs per hour
The slug per hour (slug/h) equals 14.5939029372/3600 ≈ 4.054×10⁻³ kg/s, used in aviation aerodynamics problems expressed in foot-pound-second units. Engine mass-flow data from legacy US military specifications and NASA test reports use slug/h as an intermediate unit between the tiny slug/s and large slug/day. 1 slug/h ≈ 4.054×10⁻³ kg/s ≈ 32.174 lb/h.
