Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gram per second measure?
-
Gram per second quantifies the mass passing a point per second, commonly used to measure mass flow rate of fluids, gases, or particulates.
-
How does centigram per second compare to gram per second?
-
One centigram per second equals 0.01 gram per second, representing much smaller mass flow rates suitable for fine-scale measurement.
-
Why convert from gram/second to centigram/second?
-
Converting to centigram/second allows more precise measurement of very small mass flows, essential in microdosing, lab instrumentation, and aerosol studies.
Key Terminology
-
Gram per second [g/s]
-
A unit of mass flow rate indicating grams of mass passing a point each second, used in various scientific and engineering measurements.
-
Centigram per second [cg/s]
-
A unit of mass flow rate equal to one centigram per second, representing very small scale mass flow measurements.
-
Mass Flow Rate
