What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to convert mass flow rates from dekagram per second (dag/s) to metric ton per hour (t/h). It is designed to assist users in scaling small mass flow measurements common in laboratory, food processing, and manufacturing settings to larger industrial flow units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in dekagram per second (dag/s) you want to convert.
-
Select dekagram/second as the source unit and ton (metric)/hour as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent mass flow rate in metric ton per hour (t/h).
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rates from dekagram/second to metric ton/hour.
-
Easy-to-use interface for quick unit conversion.
-
Supports conversions relevant to food processing, chemical labs, and industrial applications.
Examples
-
Convert 5 dag/s to t/h: 5 × 0.036 = 0.18 t/h
-
Convert 10 dag/s to t/h: 10 × 0.036 = 0.36 t/h
Common Use Cases
-
Metering ingredients like spices on food processing lines with flow rates in grams per second.
-
Specifying dosing rates for laboratory-scale chemical reactors or bench-top dosing pumps.
-
Expressing throughput of bulk materials on conveyors and feeders in process plants.
-
Measuring steam production capacity in boiler and steam plant operations.
-
Reporting feedstock or product flow in refineries and chemical manufacturing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady-state flow conditions for accurate conversion results.
-
Use precise measuring instruments when dealing with low dekagram/second rates.
-
Apply conversions only when material density and flow conditions remain consistent.
Limitations
-
Accuracy depends on stable measurement conditions; changes in material properties can affect results.
-
Conversion does not consider transient or pulsating flow variations.
-
Small conversion factor requires precise instrumentation for reliable low-range measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does dekagram per second represent?
-
It represents a mass flow rate where one dekagram (10 grams) passes a point every second.
-
In which industries is this conversion commonly used?
-
It is widely used in food processing, laboratory dosing, chemical and process plants, bulk material handling, and steam plant operations.
-
Why is precise measurement important for this conversion?
-
Because of the small conversion factor, precise instruments are needed to accurately measure low dekagram/second rates when converting to metric ton/hour.
Key Terminology
-
Dekagram/second (dag/s)
-
A mass flow rate equal to one dekagram (10 grams) passing a point each second; equals 0.01 kilograms per second in SI units.
-
Ton (metric) per hour (t/h)
-
A mass flow rate equal to one metric ton (1000 kg) passing a point each hour; approximately 0.27778 kilograms per second.
