What is Pounds Per Minute?

Pounds per minute (PPM) is a measure of the rate at which weight is processed or moved over time. It is calculated by dividing the total weight by the total time in minutes. This metric is commonly used in various industries to assess the efficiency of processes involving weight, such as manufacturing, logistics, and material handling.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PPM = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \text{ pounds/minute} \]

The Pounds Per Minute is 5 pounds/minute.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PPM = \frac{250}{50} = 5 \text{ pounds/minute} \]

The Pounds Per Minute is 5 pounds/minute.
