About Pounds per hour

The pound per hour (lb/h) equals 0.45359237/3600 ≈ 1.260×10⁻⁴ kg/s, the dominant unit in US process engineering and steam-boiler rating. Packaged steam boilers are rated in lb/h of steam output (typical range 100-2 000 lb/h); HVAC cooling-coil latent loads are calculated in lb/h of moisture; flue-gas emission inventories are reported in lb/h per stack. 1 lb/h ≈ 1.260×10⁻⁴ kg/s.

About Grains per second

The grain per second (gr/s) equals 64.79891 mg/s or 6.479891×10⁻⁵ kg/s. The grain (= 1/7000 lb exactly) is the smallest avoirdupois mass unit, still used in ballistics for bullet and propellant-charge weights. A .308 Winchester rifle bullet of 168 gr fired in 1 s represents 168 gr/s; powder charge is typically 40-46 gr. 1 gr/s = 6.479891×10⁻⁵ kg/s = 64.79891 mg/s.
