What is Mass Flow Rate?
Simple Definition
Mass flow rate tells us how much stuff moves through a pipe or tube in a certain time. Think of it like counting how many pounds of water flow through your garden hose every hour.
We measure it in units like kg/s (kilograms per second) or lb/h (pounds per hour).
Why It Matters
Mass flow rate helps us:
- • Control how fast materials move in factories
- • Make sure machines get the right amount of fuel
- • Check if water systems work properly
- • Mix ingredients correctly in food making

Easy Conversion Guide
kg/s to lb/h (Most Common)
Multiply by 7,937
Example: 2 kg/s = 2 × 7,937 = 15,874 lb/h
g/min to kg/s
Divide by 60,000
Example: 1,200 g/min = 1,200 ÷ 60,000 = 0.02 kg/s
ton/day to kg/s
Multiply by 0.0116
Example: 100 ton/day = 100 × 0.0116 = 1.16 kg/s
lb/s to g/s
Multiply by 454
Example: 0.5 lb/s = 0.5 × 454 = 227 g/s

Practice Problems
Problem 1: Factory Pipe
A factory pipe moves 5 kg/s of material. How much is this in lb/h?
Answer: 5 × 7,937 = 39,685 lb/h
Problem 2: Water Tap
Your tap flows 3,000 g/min. What is this in kg/s?
Answer: 3,000 ÷ 60,000 = 0.05 kg/s
Problem 3: Daily Production
A plant makes 50 tons per day. What is the rate in kg/s?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is mass flow rate?
Mass flow rate is how much material passes through a point in a certain time. It's like counting how many pounds of sand fall through an hourglass every minute.
Why convert mass flow units?
Different countries and industries use different units. Converting helps everyone understand the same measurement, like changing pounds to kilograms.
Which unit is most common?
kg/s (kilograms per second) is used in science and engineering. lb/h (pounds per hour) is common in American industries.
How accurate is this converter?
Our converter uses exact conversion factors. Results are accurate to 8 decimal places, which is more than enough for most uses.
Can I use this for liquids and gases?
Yes! Mass flow rate works for any material - water, oil, air, sand, or anything else that flows.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free! No sign-up needed. Use it as many times as you want on any device.
