Convert Kilograms per square centimetre per second to Pounds per square foot per hour
Convert Kilograms per square centimetre per second (kg/(cm²·s)) to Pounds per square foot per hour (lb/(ft²·h)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
lb/(ft²·h) = kg/(cm²·s) × 7373381.17
About Kilograms per square centimetre per second
The kilogram per square centimetre per second (kg/(cm²·s)) equals 10⁴ kg/(m²·s) (exact: 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). It is used for extreme high-pressure mass-flux situations such as detonation physics, shaped-charge jet penetration, and hypervelocity impact analysis. 1 kg/(cm²·s) = 10⁴ kg/(m²·s) = 1 000 g/(cm²·s).
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).
