Assumes steady, uninterrupted flow rates
-
Not suitable for analyzing fluctuating or transient mass flows
-
Intended for very low mass flow rates, not large-scale processes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does centigram per second measure?
-
Centigram per second quantifies the amount of mass, specifically centigrams, passing a point each second, commonly used for very small-scale flow rates.
-
Why convert centigrams per second to milligrams per hour?
-
Converting allows expressing very small mass flow rates over longer periods, aiding in easier measurement, reporting, and control in scientific and industrial contexts.
-
Can this tool be used for large-scale flow conversions?
-
No, this converter is designed for very low mass flow rates and may not provide accurate results for larger or highly variable flows.
Key Terminology
-
Centigram per second (cg/s)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one centigram of mass passing a point each second, used for very small-scale flows.
-
Milligram per hour (mg/h)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating the transfer of one milligram of mass every hour, used to quantify very low mass-transfer rates.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The measurement of mass passing through a point or being dispensed over a specific period.
