-
It is frequently used in chemical engineering, materials testing, environmental monitoring, combustion research, and analytical instrumentation.
Key Terminology
-
Gram per minute (g/min)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating how many grams of a substance pass through per minute.
-
Gram per second (g/s)
-
A unit that measures mass flow rate as grams passing through per second for finer time-scale measurements.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantification of mass moving through a cross-section per unit time in a process.
