Process Rate Calculations, LB/HR and FT/MIN.
Shown below are common rate and material density calculators. Converting specific gravity (g/cm^3) to pounds per cubic inch (lb/in^3) and back is convenient.
To determine foot per minute (ft/min) and pounds per hour (bl/hr) rates from product dimensions and material density is also very convenient.
Use the approximate densities provided on the material page or use exact density data from the material suppliers.
