What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to convert mass flow measurements from dekagram per second (dag/s) to decigram per second (dg/s). It facilitates accurate adjustments between medium-scale flow rates and finer, precise mass flow measurements used in specialized dosing and metering tasks.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value you want to convert in dekagram per second (dag/s)
-
Select the unit dekagram/second as the 'from' unit
-
Select decigram/second as the 'to' unit
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent value in decigram per second (dg/s)

-
Decigram per second [dg/s]
-
A mass flow unit representing 0.1 gram passing a point each second; equals 1×10⁻⁴ kilograms per second in SI units.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a surface or system per unit of time.
