What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform a mass flow measurement expressed in centigrams per second (cg/s) into grams per hour (g/h). It is useful for handling precise, small-scale flow rates in science, pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, and microfluidic applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the mass flow value in centigram per second (cg/s)
-
Select the input unit as centigram/second and the output unit as gram/hour
-
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent mass flow rate in gram/hour
Key Features
-
Accurately converts centigram/second to gram/hour based on a fixed conversion rate
-
Supports precise measurement translation for low-flow mass processes
-
Browser-based tool that is easy and quick to use
Examples
-
2 cg/s converts to 72 g/h
-
0.5 cg/s converts to 18 g/h
Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating low-flow dosing pumps and microdispensers in pharmaceutical manufacturing
-
Reporting reagent delivery rates within microfluidic and analytical devices
-
Measuring small particulate or aerosol emission rates in laboratory emission studies
-
Quantifying gas and vapor leakage rates in environmental and lab testing
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow rates are relatively stable to apply the conversion accurately
-
Use precise measurement instruments when working with very small mass flows
-
Select units suitable for small-scale flow processes for consistent reporting
Limitations
-
Assumes steady flow rates and may not be accurate for fluctuating flows
-
Small-scale flow measurements are sensitive to instrument precision and rounding
-
Unit conversion is confined to very low mass flow rates, not for larger-scale processes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does centigram per second measure?
-
Centigram per second measures the mass flow rate indicating how many centigrams of mass pass a point each second, useful for very small-scale flow measurements.
-
Why convert cg/s to g/h?
-
Converting cg/s to g/h helps express mass flow over a longer time interval, making it easier to quantify and report low-flow processes in various scientific and industrial settings.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluctuating flow rates?
-
No, this conversion assumes a constant flow rate and may not apply accurately if the flow varies significantly over time.
Key Terminology
-
Centigram per second (cg/s)
-
A unit measuring mass flow rate equal to one centigram of mass passing per second, used for very small-scale flow measurements.
-
Gram per hour (g/h)
-
A unit for mass flow representing one gram of mass transported or consumed every hour, used in precise low-flow applications.
