Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does decigram per second (dg/s) measure?
-
Decigram per second is a mass flow rate unit indicating how many decigrams of mass pass through a point each second, used for low-rate flows in fields like fluid dynamics.
-
How do I convert decigram/second to milligram/second?
-
You multiply the decigram/second value by 100 to get the equivalent milligram/second value.
-
In which fields is converting dg/s to mg/s most useful?
-
This conversion is helpful in pharmaceutical dosing, environmental emission testing, and microfluidic applications where small precise flows are important.
Key Terminology
-
Decigram per second (dg/s)
-
A unit measuring mass flow rate equal to one tenth of a gram passing per second, used for low-rate fluid flows.
-
Milligram per second (mg/s)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one thousandth of a gram passing per second, ideal for very small flow measurements.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The amount of mass passing through a surface or system per unit time, important for fluid dynamics and process control.
