Mass flow
Convert tonne per hour (t/h) to pound per hour (lb/h). Mass flow rate is the mass passing a point per unit time — the conserved quantity in a material balance, independent of temperature and pressure.
1 t/h = 2204.623 lb/h
To convert tonne per hour to pound per hour, multiply the t/h value by 2204.623. To go the other way, divide by 2204.623 (or multiply by 0.0004535924).
| t/h | lb/h |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2204.623 |
| 2 | 4409.245 |
| 5 | 11023.11 |
| 10 | 22046.23 |
| 25 | 55115.57 |
| 50 | 110231.1 |
| 100 | 220462.3 |
| 250 | 551155.7 |
| 500 | 1102311 |
| 1000 | 2204623 |
Material and energy balances are written on a mass basis, so plant flows convert between kg/h, t/h, and lb/h constantly.
Relief loads and heat duties depend on mass flow, not volumetric flow — keep the two straight when a stream's density changes.
Worked example. A mass flow rate of 10 t/h is 22046.23 lb/h.
Multiply the value in t/h by 2204.623 to get lb/h. For example, 10 t/h = 22046.23 lb/h.
1 t/h equals 2204.623 lb/h.
Material and energy balances are written on a mass basis, so plant flows convert between kg/h, t/h, and lb/h constantly.
