What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms mass flow measurements from centigrams per second, suitable for small-scale flows, into metric tons per hour, a standard unit for large-scale industrial processes.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the mass flow value in centigram/second [cg/s]
-
Select centigram/second as the source unit
-
Choose ton (metric)/hour as the target unit
-
Click convert to view the equivalent flow rate in t/h
Key Features
-
Converts centigram/second [cg/s] to ton (metric)/hour [t/h]
-
Simple, browser-based interface for quick calculations
-
Supports precise translation of small-scale flows to industrial scales
-
Useful for pharmaceutical, chemical, and bulk material handling contexts
Examples
-
Convert 100 cg/s to t/h: 100 × 0.000036 = 0.0036 t/h
-
Convert 5000 cg/s to t/h: 5000 × 0.000036 = 0.18 t/h
Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating low-flow laboratory dosing pumps and microdispensers
-
Reporting reagent delivery rates in microfluidics and instrumentation
-
Measuring boiler steam production capacity in tonnes per hour
-
Specifying conveyor throughput for bulk materials like coal or grain
-
Managing feedstock and product flow rates in chemical plants and refineries
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent time and mass units before converting
-
Use this tool to translate small-scale flows into industry-standard units
-
Verify measurement accuracy when comparing vastly different scales
-
Apply conversions carefully considering the context of application
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes uniform time and mass basis between units
-
Precision may be limited when scaling from microscopic to industrial levels
-
Differences in measurement accuracy can affect comparative data reliability
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 centigram/second represent?
-
It represents a mass flow rate where one centigram of mass is transported each second, equal to 0.01 grams per second.
-
Why convert from cg/s to metric tons per hour?
-
Converting allows translating very small, precise flow rates into larger units commonly used in engineering and industrial process control.
-
Can I use this tool for large-scale bulk material flows?
-
Yes, this conversion helps express small-scale measurements in appropriate larger units like tons per hour for bulk handling applications.
Key Terminology
-
Centigram per second [cg/s]
-
A unit indicating mass flow where one centigram of mass passes a point each second, used for very small-scale flows.
-
Ton (metric) per hour [t/h]
-
A mass flow rate defined as one metric ton (1000 kilograms) passing a point or processed every hour.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantity of mass moving through a cross-section per unit time.
