What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms mass flow rates expressed in centigrams per second into grams per minute. It's ideal for translating very small, precise flow measurements taken per second into a per-minute scale used in various laboratory and industrial applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the numerical value of mass flow in centigrams per second
-
Select the input unit as centigram/second [cg/s]
-
Choose gram/minute [g/min] as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in grams per minute
Key Features
-
Converts centigram/second [cg/s] to gram/minute [g/min] with a fixed conversion rate
-
Browser-based and easy to use, requiring no installation
-
Supports applications ranging from pharmaceutical dosing to emission rate measurements
Examples
-
Convert 2 cg/s to g/min results in 1.2 g/min
-
Convert 5 cg/s to g/min equals 3 g/min
Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating microdispensers and dosing pumps in pharmaceutical labs
-
Reporting reagent delivery rates in microfluidic systems
-
Measuring small-scale evaporation or sublimation rates in materials testing
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm unit selections before conversion for accurate results
-
Use the tool to convert per-second flow rates into practical per-minute data
-
Consider laboratory or industrial context when interpreting converted values
Limitations
-
Aggregating per-second data into per-minute units may conceal short-term flow variations
-
Instrument calibration and measurement precision affect conversion accuracy, especially at very low flows
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does centigram per second [cg/s] measure?
-
It measures the rate of mass flow where one centigram of mass passes a point each second, used for very small-scale flows.
-
What is the conversion rate from cg/s to g/min?
-
1 centigram per second equals 0.6 gram per minute.
-
In which fields is this conversion commonly applied?
-
Applications include pharmaceutical dosing, microfluidics research, materials testing, and engine or aerosol-generator testing.
Key Terminology
-
Centigram/second (cg/s)
-
A unit quantifying mass flow rate where one centigram passes a point every second, suitable for very small-scale flows.
-
Gram/minute (g/min)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one gram of mass passing per minute, used for measuring low flow rates over longer periods.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a reference point per unit of time.
