What does a dekagram per second represent?

A dekagram per second is a mass flow rate where 10 grams of mass pass a point each second, equal to 0.01 kilograms per second.

How is metric ton per minute defined?

Metric ton per minute is a flow rate that quantifies mass in metric tons passing a point each minute, with 1 t/min equal to 1,000 kilograms per minute.

Why convert dag/s to t/min?

Converting from dag/s to t/min helps translate small-scale dosing or ingredient flows into larger industrial throughput metrics for easier reporting and planning.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you transform mass flow measurements from dekagram per second, a small-scale unit often used in food processing and chemical dosing, to metric tons per minute, which is common in large-scale industrial throughput evaluations.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in dekagram per second (dag/s)
Select the source unit as dekagram/second [dag/s]
Set the target unit to ton (metric)/minute [t/min]
Click convert to view the equivalent mass flow rate in t/min
Use the output to interpret or report flow rates in industrial contexts

Key Features

Converts precise small-scale flow rates (dag/s) to large-scale industrial rates (t/min)
Simple multiplication formula for quick calculations
Supports applications in food processing, chemical labs, mining, bulk materials, and port operations
Browser-based, easy to use interface
Provides example conversions for clarity

Examples

Convert 10 dag/s by multiplying 10 × 0.0006 = 0.006 t/min
Convert 50 dag/s by multiplying 50 × 0.0006 = 0.03 t/min

Common Use Cases

Metering small ingredient flows in food production lines
Defining dosing rates for laboratory chemical reactors
Estimating throughput of feeders or packaging in manufacturing
Reporting conveyor or crusher throughput in mining operations
Assessing ship loading/unloading rates for bulk materials
Describing feedstock transfer in cement and steel manufacturing plants

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent units before performing conversions
Use the tool to scale small precise measurements into industrial scale values
Double-check flow rate inputs for steady state conditions to avoid errors
Refer to example calculations to confirm conversion results
Be mindful of measurement precision due to differing unit scales

Limitations

Conversion accuracy may be affected by the difference in magnitude between dag/s and t/min
Results assume stable flow conditions without transients
Requires careful measurement to minimize rounding errors
