Conversion Formula
gr/h = slug/s × 810786023.6
About Slugs per second
The slug per second (slug/s) equals 14.5939029372 kg/s, derived from the Imperial system where 1 slug = 1 lb·s²/ft ≈ 14.594 kg. The slug is the coherent mass unit in the foot-pound-second system; rocket propulsion engineers using US customary units express mass flow in slug/s. A standard American rocket engine consuming 75 000 lb/s of propellant corresponds to ≈75 000/32.174 ≈ 1 830 slug/s. 1 slug/s = 14.5939029372... kg/s.
About Grains per hour
The grain per hour (gr/h) equals 6.479891×10⁻⁵/3600 ≈ 1.800×10⁻⁸ kg/s, used in HVAC psychrometric calculations for dehumidifier capacity and moisture-removal rates. ASHRAE load calculation spreadsheets report latent loads in grains of water per hour; a typical residential dehumidifier removes 5×10⁵-2×10⁶ gr/h. 1 gr/h ≈ 1.800×10⁻⁸ kg/s.
