Pound per Hour per Square Foot
lb/(h·ft²)
Definition
The pound per hour per square foot is an imperial unit for mass flux density, representing the mass flow rate of one pound per hour through an area of one square foot. This unit is commonly used in North American industries where both mass and area measurements follow imperial standards, providing a consistent unit system for mass transfer calculations.
History/Origin
This unit was established in North American industrial practice where imperial units are standard for both mass and area measurements. It became common in chemical processing, HVAC design, and environmental engineering in the United States and Canada, where imperial units are preferred for industrial applications and equipment specifications.
Current Use
Extensively used in North American chemical and process industries, HVAC system design, and environmental engineering applications. It is employed in industrial drying processes, air pollution control systems, and building ventilation design where imperial units are standard practice and equipment specifications use imperial measurements.

Kilogram per Hour per Square Foot
kg/(h·ft²)
Definition
The kilogram per hour per square foot is an imperial unit for mass flux density, representing the mass flow rate of one kilogram per hour through an area of one square foot. This unit combines metric mass units with imperial area units, commonly used in industries where mixed unit systems are prevalent or where equipment specifications use imperial measurements.
History/Origin
This unit emerged from the need to bridge metric and imperial measurement systems in international engineering projects and industrial applications. It became common in industries where equipment specifications use imperial units for area measurements while mass measurements follow metric standards, particularly in North American and some European industrial applications.
Current Use
Commonly used in North American chemical and process industries where equipment specifications use imperial units. It is employed in HVAC system design, industrial drying processes, and environmental monitoring where area measurements are in square feet. Also used in international projects where mixed unit systems are required for compatibility with existing equipment.
