How to Convert Pounds per Hour-Sq. Foot to Kilograms per Second-Sq. Meter

To convert pounds per hour-sq. foot to kilograms per second-sq. meter, multiply the mass flux density by the following conversion ratio: 0.0013562 kilograms per second-sq. meter/pound per hour-sq. foot.

Since one pound per hour-sq. foot is equal to 0.0013562 kilograms per second-sq. meter, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilograms per second-sq. meter = pounds per hour-sq. foot × 0.0013562

The mass flux density in kilograms per second-sq. meter is equal to the mass flux density in pounds per hour-sq. foot multiplied by 0.0013562.

For example, here's how to convert 5 pounds per hour-sq. foot to kilograms per second-sq. meter using the formula above.

kilograms per second-sq. meter = (5 lb/(h·ft²) × 0.0013562) = 0.0067811 kg/(s·m²)

How Many Kilograms per Second-Sq. Meter Are in a Pound per Hour-Sq. Foot?

There are 0.0013562 kilograms per second-sq. meter in a pound per hour-sq. foot, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 lb/(h·ft²) = 0.0013562 kg/(s·m²)|1 kg/(s·m²) = 737.3381165 lb/(h·ft²)

Our pound per hour-sq. foot to kilogram per second-sq. meter calculator automatically converts your mass flux density measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

Pounds per Hour-Sq. Foot and kilograms per second-sq. meter are both units used to measure mass flux density. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.

What Is a Pound per Hour-Sq. Foot?

A pound per hour-sq. foot is a unit of mass flux density equal to 0.0013562 kilograms per second-sq. meter (kg/(s·m²)), the base unit for mass flux density. Equal to 0.0013562 kg/(s·m²). [1]

The pound per hour-sq. foot is classified as a US customary unit of mass flux density. Pounds per Hour-Sq. Foot can be abbreviated as lb/(h·ft²); for example, 1 pound per hour-sq. foot can be written as 1 lb/(h·ft²).

When working with pounds per hour-sq. foot (lb/(h·ft²)) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, pounds per hour-sq. foot (lb/(h·ft²)) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale mass flux density measurements within US customary workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

What Is a Kilogram per Second-Sq. Meter?

SI unit of mass flux density. It serves as a primary reference unit for measuring mass flux density across scientific and practical applications. [2]

The kilogram per second-sq. meter is classified as an International System of Units (SI) unit of mass flux density. Kilograms per Second-Sq. Meter can be abbreviated as kg/(s·m²); for example, 1 kilogram per second-sq. meter can be written as 1 kg/(s·m²).

As the primary coherent reference unit for mass flux density in this category, all other mass flux density units are mathematically anchored to the kilogram per second-sq. meter (kg/(s·m²)).

In practice, kilograms per second-sq. meter (kg/(s·m²)) are widely used across standard mass flux density applications within International System of Units (SI) workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting mass flux density between pounds per hour-sq. foot (lb/(h·ft²)) and kilograms per second-sq. meter (kg/(s·m²)), keep full floating-point precision (1 lb/(h·ft²) = 0.0013562 kg/(s·m²); 1 kg/(s·m²) = 737.3381165 lb/(h·ft²)) during intermediate calculations and round only the final kilogram per second-sq. meter figure to match your instrument tolerance.
