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 Milligrams per second

The milligram per second (mg/s) equals 10⁻⁶ kg/s, common in pharmaceutical tablet coating lines and laboratory syringe pump calibrations. A modern inkjet printhead deposits ink at roughly 1-10 mg/s per nozzle row during high-speed printing; medical infusion pumps are calibrated to this scale for drug-delivery accuracy. 1 mg/s = 10⁻⁶ kg/s = 60 mg/min.
