How to convert Lb/Hr to Gallon per hour to mentally visualize flow rate. It is useful to determine how rich or lean something is in units your familiar with. It is useful to understand before and after injector cleaning.
To convert 1 (Lb/Hr) of gasoline to gallons per hour (Gal/Hr), we need the density of gasoline.
-
Gasoline density (typical):
-
6.0 to 6.3 lb/gal, depending on formulation and temperature
-
We’ll use 6.2 lb/gal as a standard average.
-
Final Answer:
- 1 lb/hr of gasoline ≈ 0.161 gal/hr (rounded to three decimal places)
