Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gram/day [g/d] measure?
-
Gram per day measures the amount of mass transferred or produced over a 24-hour period, quantifying small continuous or cumulative mass flows.
-
In which fields is decigram/second [dg/s] commonly used?
-
Decigram per second is used in fluid dynamics, process engineering, pharmaceutical dosing, microdosing pumps, and laboratory experiments involving low-rate mass flows.
-
Why convert from gram/day to decigram/second?
-
Converting allows translation of slow, cumulative mass flow measurements into a per-second rate useful for precision dosing, lab experiments, and process control applications.
Key Terminology
-
Gram per day [g/d]
-
A unit measuring mass flow corresponding to one gram of mass transferred or produced over a 24-hour period.
-
Decigram per second [dg/s]
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating one decigram (0.1 gram) transferred per second, used in precision flow measurements.
