What Is This Tool?
This tool converts mass flow values from hectogram per second (hg/s) to metric ton per hour (t/h), enabling straightforward translation between small-scale and industrial-scale flow measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in hectogram per second (hg/s) you wish to convert
-
Select the target unit as metric ton per hour (t/h)
-
View the conversion result calculated using the conversion rate
Key Features
-
Provides conversion for mass flow rates between hg/s and t/h
-
Includes practical conversion formula reflecting industry standards
-
Supports applications in chemical engineering and bulk material handling
Examples
-
2 hg/s converts to 0.72 t/h following the formula 2 × 0.36 = 0.72
-
5 hg/s converts to 1.8 t/h using multiplication by 0.36
Common Use Cases
-
Dosing of granular materials in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing
-
Reporting reagent flow in bench-scale chemical reactors
-
Specifying fuel feed rates for laboratory test engines
-
Expressing steam production capacity in boilers
-
Managing bulk material throughput in refineries and conveyor systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure units are consistent when combining data from different sources
-
Apply the conversion for steady-state flow scenarios
-
Confirm flow homogeneity to maintain conversion reliability
Limitations
-
Does not account for transient or variable flow conditions
-
May be less precise with heterogeneous mixtures or changing densities
-
Requires attention to unit consistency in complex system integration
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hectogram per second measure?
-
It measures the mass flow rate as the amount of mass—one hectogram—passing through a point per second.
-
How is metric ton per hour defined?
-
It represents the mass flow rate as one metric ton (1000 kilograms) passing through a point or being processed in one hour.
-
Why convert from hg/s to t/h?
-
This conversion helps translate small-scale mass flow data into larger scale industrial units for design and reporting purposes.
Key Terminology
-
Hectogram/second (hg/s)
-
A unit of mass flow indicating 100 grams of mass passing through a point each second.
-
Ton (metric)/hour (t/h)
-
A mass flow rate unit where one metric tonne passes a point every hour, equal to 1000 kilograms per hour.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a given surface per unit time.
