What Is This Tool?
This converter helps transform flow mass rates measured in gram per minute into metric tons per hour, enabling users to represent small mass flows in larger industrial units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in gram per minute that you want to convert.
-
Select gram/minute as the source unit and ton (metric)/hour as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to view the result in metric tons per hour.
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rates from gram/minute to ton (metric)/hour.
-
Easy-to-use interface suitable for lab and industrial settings.
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation.
-
Supports applications in chemical processing, bulk handling, and steam plants.
Examples
-
100 gram/minute equals 0.006 ton (metric)/hour.
-
500 gram/minute equals 0.03 ton (metric)/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying small-scale dosing or feed rates in lab reactors.
-
Reporting evaporation or sublimation in material testing.
-
Measuring fuel or lubricant consumption in engine tests.
-
Expressing boiler capacities in tonnes of steam per hour.
-
Calculating throughput of bulk materials on conveyors.
-
Tracking product flow rates in chemical and process plants.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the converter to translate small mass flows into larger industrial units for better process planning.
-
Verify steady flow conditions before converting to ensure accuracy.
-
Be cautious of rounding when dealing with very low flow rates.
-
Do not use for applications requiring sub-second flow measurements.
Limitations
-
Conversions may introduce low precision for very small flow rates due to rounding.
-
Assumes steady and consistent flow conditions, not suitable for fluctuating or pulsed flows.
-
Not intended for sub-second time resolution flow measurements as gram/minute is coarse.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gram/minute measure?
-
Gram/minute represents the mass flow rate of a substance passing a point with a mass of one gram per minute.
-
Why convert gram/minute to ton (metric)/hour?
-
Converting from gram/minute to ton (metric)/hour helps express small-scale flows in larger industrial units for better process control and reporting.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluctuating flows?
-
No, this conversion assumes steady and consistent flow conditions and may not be accurate for fluctuating or pulsed flows.
Key Terminology
-
Gram/minute [g/min]
-
A unit of mass flow rate representing the passage of one gram of substance per minute.
-
Ton (metric)/hour [t/h]
-
A mass flow rate unit denoting one metric tonne (1000 kg) processed or passing a point each hour.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a surface per unit of time.
