Conversion Formula
g/h = lb/min × 27215.5422
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.
About Grams per hour
The gram per hour (g/h) equals 10⁻³/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ kg/s, used in fuel-cell hydrogen consumption tests, precision agricultural sprayers, and humidity calibration. A 1 kW PEM fuel cell consumes roughly 750 g/h of hydrogen at rated power. Automotive air-conditioning refrigerant leak standards are set in g/h. 1 g/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ kg/s = 1/3600 g/s.
