pound per second to gram per minute
Convert pound per second (lb/s) to gram per minute (g/min). Use an editable mass flow rate converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 lb/s = 27,215.5422 g/min
Conversion formula
One pound per second equals 27,215.5422 gram per minute. Multiply your value in pound per second by this factor to get gram per minute. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 pound per second:5 × 27,215.5422 = 136,077.711 g/min

About these measurements
Mass flow rate measures mass passing a point per unit time.
The base reference used here is the kilogram per second. One pound per second is 0.45359237 base units; one gram per minute is 0.00001666666667 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert lb/s to g/min?
Multiply the quantity in lb/s by 27,215.5422. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the gram per minute to pound per second converter.
