Convert Grams per square metre per minute to Pounds per square foot per hour
Convert Grams per square metre per minute (g/(m²·min)) to Pounds per square foot per hour (lb/(ft²·h)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
lb/(ft²·h) = g/(m²·min) × 0.01228896862
About Grams per square metre per minute
The gram per square metre per minute (g/(m²·min)) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667 × 10⁻⁵ kg/(m²·s). It is used in spray-coating and inkjet-printing research where deposition rates are measured per pass per unit area. 1 g/(m²·min) = 60 g/(m²·h).
About Pounds per square foot per hour
The pound per square foot per hour (lb/(ft²·h)) equals 0.45359237/(0.09290304 × 3600) ≈ 1.356 × 10⁻³ kg/(m²·s). It is used in US heat and mass transfer texts (e.g., Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook) for mass flux through surfaces in drying, absorption, and distillation operations using consistent BTU-lb-h units. 1 lb/(ft²·h) ≈ 1.356 g/(m²·s).
