-
Assumes steady, consistent flow and does not account for transient fluctuations
-
Measurement uncertainties in practical scenarios may affect conversion accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from gram/hour to gram/minute?
-
Converting allows users to align mass flow rates with processes or measurements typically recorded in minutes, improving accuracy and relevance in applications.
-
What types of processes use gram/hour and gram/minute units?
-
These units are used in environmental testing, pharmaceutical dosing, materials science, engine testing, and aerosol generation to quantify low rates of mass flow.
-
Are there any challenges when converting gram/hour to gram/minute?
-
Yes, the smaller numeric values require precise instruments, and conversion assumes steady flow without accounting for transient variations.
Key Terminology
-
Gram per hour [g/h]
-
A derived SI unit describing the mass flow rate of one gram per hour, used for measuring very low mass-flow processes.
-
Gram per minute [g/min]
-
A unit expressing mass flow as one gram passing per minute, equal to 1.6666667×10⁻⁵ kilograms per second in SI base units.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a cross-section per unit of time.
