lb/hr to GPM Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the GPM from lb/hr is:

\[ \text{GPM} = \frac{\text{lb/hr}}{\text{D} \times 60} \]

Where:

\( \text{GPM} \) is the gallons per minute
\( \text{lb/hr} \) is the pounds per hour
\( \text{D} \) is the density of the fluid (lbs/gallon)

What is lb/hr to GPM Conversion?

Converting lb/hr to GPM is the conversion of a weight per time to a volume per time. To convert between the two, the weight must be divided by the density to get volume, and then the hours must be divided by 60 to get minutes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Pounds per Hour (lb/hr) = 600
Density (D) = 8.34 lbs/gallon

Using the formula:

\[ \text{GPM} = \frac{600}{8.34 \times 60} = 1.198 \, \text{GPM} \]

The Gallons per Minute (GPM) is 1.198 GPM.
