Examples
-
5 g/s equals 0.3 kg/min calculated by multiplying 5 with 0.06
-
10 g/s equals 0.6 kg/min calculated by multiplying 10 with 0.06
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring small fuel or lubricant injection rates in precision engine testing
-
Controlling reagent or gas feed rates in laboratory chemical reactors
-
Specifying aerosol generation rates and monitoring leaks in environmental tests
-
Fuel flow measurements in gas turbines and jet engines for performance evaluation
-
Managing feed rates of reactants and powders in chemical process engineering
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady-state flow conditions during measurements for reliable conversion
-
Use appropriate flow measurement tools calibrated for your units to maintain accuracy
-
Consider the scale of flow rates when choosing between gram/second and kilogram/minute units
-
Apply conversions carefully when dealing with compressible fluids or variable densities
Limitations
-
Conversion presumes steady flow and does not factor in changes of fluid density or compressibility
-
Gram/second fits best for small to medium flow rates, while kilogram/minute suits moderate to larger flow scales
-
Accuracy depends on well-calibrated measurement instruments for both units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gram per second (g/s) measure?
-
Gram per second (g/s) quantifies the mass in grams passing a point each second, representing mass flow rate.
-
Why convert from gram/second to kilogram/minute?
-
Converting allows easier interpretation of small-scale, high-resolution measurements into practical, per-minute mass flow rates for industrial use.
-
Is the conversion 1 g/s equal to 1 kg/min?
-
No, 1 gram/second equals 0.06 kilogram/minute according to the provided conversion factor.
Key Terminology
-
Gram/second [g/s]
-
A unit expressing mass flow rate in grams passing a point each second, used for small to medium flows.
-
Kilogram/minute [kg/min]
-
A unit measuring mass flow rate in kilograms per minute, suitable for moderate to large mass transfer applications.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The measure of mass passing through a cross-section or point per unit time.
