Key Terminology
-
Gram/hour [g/h]
-
A unit of mass flow rate indicating the transport or consumption of one gram of mass per hour, used for measuring very low mass flows.
-
Microgram/second [µg/s]
-
A unit of mass flow rate representing one microgram of material transferred every second, suitable for ultra-low mass flow quantification.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The measurement of mass passing through a point or delivered over a period of time.
