Calculation Formula

Pounds Per Minute (lb/min) = Flow Rate (GPM) × Density (lb/gal)

Where:
- Pounds Per Minute (lb/min) is the mass flow rate of the substance.
- Flow Rate (GPM) is the volume flow rate of the substance in gallons per minute.
- Density (lb/gal) is the mass per unit volume of the substance in pounds per gallon.

Result

Pounds Per Minute (lb/min): 0.00

PoundsPerMinuteCalculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the PoundsPerMinuteCalculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) in the "Flow Rate (GPM)" field.
  2. Enter the density of the substance in pounds per gallon (lb/gal) in the "Density (lb/gal)" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the flow rate in pounds per minute (lb/min).
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Pounds Per Minute (lb/min)" field.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the formula:

Pounds Per Minute (lb/min) = Flow Rate (GPM) × Density (lb/gal)

This formula converts the volumetric flow rate (GPM) to a mass flow rate (lb/min) by multiplying it by the density of the substance.

Example

If the flow rate is 10 GPM and the density of the substance is 8.34 lb/gal, the calculation would be:

10 GPM × 8.34 lb/gal = 83.4 lb/min
