How to Convert Mole/hour to Pound mole/minute

Converting Mole/hour (mol/h) to Pound mole/minute (lb-mol/min) is a core calculation in Molar Flow Rate, which measures the chemical amount of substance (in moles) flowing through a boundary per unit of time. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Mole/hour equals 3.674371 × 10⁻⁵ Pound mole/minute, while 1 lb-mol/min equals 27215.542264 mol/h.

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (mole per second (mol/s)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 mol/h = 0.000277778 mole per second (mol/s)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 lb-mol/min = 7.559873 mole per second (mol/s)
Step-by-step substitution for Mole/hour → Pound mole/minute:V(lb-mol/min) = V(mol/h) × ( 0.000277778 / 7.559873 ) = V(mol/h) × 3.674371 × 10⁻⁵
Mathematical FormulaValue in Pound mole/minute = Value in Mole/hour × 3.67437103 × 10⁻⁵Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

For an engineering input of 15 mol/h, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 0.000551156 lb-mol/min. At larger operational scale, 2500 Mole/hour corresponds to 0.0918593 lb-mol/min.

Inverse check: 1 lb-mol/min = 27215.542264 mol/h.
