What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you transform mass flow rate values from centigram per second (cg/s) to gram per second (g/s), enabling better representation and analysis of flow measurements at different scales in laboratories and industry.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the mass flow rate value in centigram/second (cg/s)
-
Select centigram/second as the input unit and gram/second as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to view the result in gram/second (g/s)
-
Use the conversion factor of 1 cg/s = 0.01 g/s for reference
-
Review the converted value for use in your application or report

Tips & Best Practices
-
Use centigram/second for very small scale mass flow rate measurements
-
Convert to gram/second to simplify comparison across different measurement scales
-
Verify instrument sensitivity when dealing with ultra-low flow rates
-
Be mindful of potential rounding during conversions
-
Apply conversion consistently in experimental data reporting
Limitations
-
Centigram/second is best suited for very low mass flow rates; conversion to gram/second may reduce numerical detail
-
Accuracy depends on measurement device sensitivity at extremely small flows
-
Rounding errors may occur due to the scaling factor during precise computations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does centigram per second measure?
-
Centigram per second quantifies mass flow rate representing the mass in centigrams passing a point each second, typically for very small flow rates.
-
How do I convert centigram/second to gram/second?
-
Multiply the value in centigram per second by 0.01 to obtain the equivalent flow rate in gram per second.
-
When should I use gram per second instead of centigram per second?
-
Use gram per second when you need to express mass flow rates on a larger scale or in applications requiring less numerical resolution.
Key Terminology
-
Centigram/second (cg/s)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one centigram of mass passing a point each second, used for very small flow measurements.
-
Gram/second (g/s)
-
A mass flow rate unit quantifying the number of grams passing a given point each second, common in scientific and engineering fields.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantity of mass moving through a cross-section or point per unit time.
