What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms mass flow measurements from gram per day (g/d), typically used for small-scale fluxes, into megagram per second (Mg/s), suited for large industrial flow rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the mass flow value in grams per day (g/d)
-
Select gram/day as the source unit and megagram/second as the target unit

-
1000 grams/day converts to approximately 1.1574074074074e-8 megagram/second
Common Use Cases
-
Medical assessments like urinary protein excretion rates
-
Low-rate dosing in laboratory and industrial chemical additions
-
Reporting small particulate or pollutant emissions daily
-
Engineering calculations for steam turbines and power-plant feedwater
-
Specifying throughput in high-capacity pipelines and LNG transfers
-
Describing bulk material transport rates in mining and heavy industry
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify units carefully before performing conversions to maintain accuracy
-
Use this conversion mainly for comparative or theoretical analyses due to magnitude differences
-
Leverage the converter to translate small-scale medical or lab measurements into large-scale industrial metrics
-
Refer to example conversions to understand scale differences between the units
Limitations
-
Large magnitude difference between units can cause loss of precision
-
Conversions are often theoretical rather than practical for direct measurements
-
Not suitable for scenarios needing high-precision exact values across these scales
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gram per day (g/d) measure?
-
Gram per day measures the mass flow rate corresponding to one gram of mass transferred or produced over a 24-hour period.
-
Where is megagram per second (Mg/s) commonly used?
-
Megagram per second is used in engineering and process calculations for very large mass flows, such as in power plants or bulk material transport.
-
Can I use this conversion for precise industrial measurements?
-
Due to the significant difference in scale, this conversion is better suited for theoretical comparisons rather than precise measurement purposes.
Key Terminology
-
Gram per day (g/d)
-
A unit expressing mass flow as one gram moved or produced over a 24-hour period, used for small continuous mass fluxes.
-
Megagram per second (Mg/s)
-
An SI-derived mass flow rate unit representing one megagram passing a point each second, used in large-scale engineering contexts.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a surface or point per unit time.
