Default pound per hour?

i have searched and searched w/no answer, wtf does pph relate to? lets say you have a 35pph injector, a gallon is 7 pounds so you divide 7 by 35 that equals 5 so does a 35pph injector flow 5 gallon of fuel per hour or am i way off?

pph definatly is what the flow of an injector is at static for 1 hr using the rated fuel pressure. The better way to measure flow would be in volume like we do it. CC/mn Then we convert this to lbs/hr which I find inaccurate. A unit of weight for a reflection of volume to me has always been stupid. Its just alway been like that.
