Gram per second quick reference
| Gram per second | Kilogram per hour | Pound per hour | Kilogram per second |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 g/s | = 3.6 kg/h | ≈ 7.936641439 lb/h | = 0.001 kg/s |
| 10 g/s | = 36 kg/h | ≈ 79.36641439 lb/h | = 0.01 kg/s |
| 100 g/s | = 360 kg/h | ≈ 793.6641439 lb/h | = 0.1 kg/s |
| 1000 g/s | = 3600 kg/h | ≈ 7936.641439 lb/h | = 1 kg/s |
Where the gram per second fits
The next smaller mass flow unit is the kilogram per hour (kg/h). 1 g/s = 3.6 kg/h, and 1 kg/h ≈ 0.2777777778 g/s.
The next larger mass flow unit is the pound per minute (lb/min). 1 g/s ≈ 0.1322773573 lb/min, and 1 lb/min ≈ 7.559872833 g/s.
