Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating low-flow laboratory dosing pumps in pharmaceutical preparations.
-
Reporting reagent flow rates in microfluidics and analytical instruments.
-
Managing fuel mass flow for gas turbines and jet engines.
-
Controlling feed rates of reactants and powders in process engineering.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure stable flow conditions when applying the conversion.
-
Use appropriate instrumentation for low flow rates to increase measurement reliability.
-
Match units according to the scale of operation when integrating lab and industrial data.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady, consistent flow and may not reflect transient or pulsatile behavior.
-
Measurement precision at very low flow rates may be affected by sensor sensitivity.
-
Static conversion factors do not compensate for real-time process variations.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does centigram per second (cg/s) measure?
-
It measures the mass flow rate where one centigram of mass passes a point each second, commonly used for very small-scale flows.
-
Why convert cg/s to kg/min?
-
To translate precise, small-scale measurements into larger-scale units compatible with industrial and engineering applications where minute-based rates are standard.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluctuating flow rates?
-
No, the conversion assumes consistent flow conditions and may not accurately represent transient or pulsatile flows.
Key Terminology
-
Centigram/second (cg/s)
-
A unit measuring mass flow rate equal to one centigram of mass passing each second, used for small-scale precise flows.
-
Kilogram/minute (kg/min)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing the amount of mass passing a point per minute, common in industrial and engineering measurements.
