What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms measurements of mass flow rates from exagrams per second (Eg/s) to pounds per day (lb/d). It is intended for users needing to express extremely large mass transfer rates in more conventional and practical units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in exagrams per second (Eg/s) that you want to convert.
-
Select the input unit as exagram/second and output unit as pound/day.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent mass flow rate in pounds per day.
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rates from exagram/second to pound/day.
