What Is This Tool?
This unit converter translates mass flow rates from gram per hour (g/h), a unit measuring very low mass-flow rates, into metric tons per minute (t/min), suitable for large-scale industrial mass flow quantification. It supports conversions relevant across laboratory and industrial environments.
How to Use This Tool?

-
1000 g/h equals 1.6666666666667e-5 t/min.
Common Use Cases
-
Quantifying minute gas leaks or emissions in environmental laboratory tests.
-
Specifying dosing rates in pharmaceutical and microfluidic manufacturing.
-
Reporting throughput for conveyors or crushers in mining and bulk-material handling.
-
Describing feedstock transfer rates in cement and steel production plants.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify measurement precision when dealing with very small mass flow rates.
-
Use this conversion to bridge calculations from laboratory-scale to industrial-scale processes.
-
For intermediate flow rates, consider units like kg/min for better scale appropriateness.
-
Always confirm the units used in your data to ensure accurate conversions.
Limitations
-
The conversion factor involves very small numerical values due to scale differences between units.
-
Not ideal for intermediate flow rates where other units may offer clearer precision and relevance.
-
Accuracy depends on measurement and computational precision when handling very small mass flows.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gram/hour measure in this context?
-
Gram per hour (g/h) measures the mass flow rate of materials at very low levels, often used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify small mass transport or consumption rates.
-
Why convert from gram/hour to ton (metric)/minute?
-
Converting from gram/hour to ton (metric)/minute allows comparison and calculations spanning from microscopic laboratory measurements to large-scale industrial mass flows.
-
Is this conversion suitable for all flow rates?
-
This conversion is primarily useful for very low or very high flow rates; intermediate rates may be more effectively measured with other units like kilograms per minute.
Key Terminology
-
Gram/hour [g/h]
-
A mass flow rate unit describing the transport or consumption of mass at one gram per hour, used for very low mass-flow processes.
-
Ton (metric)/minute [t/min]
-
A unit representing mass flow rate as metric tons per minute, quantifying the mass processed or transferred per unit time.
