Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does kilogram per hour measure in this context?
-
It measures the amount of mass passing a point or consumed in one hour, often used in industrial and engineering processes.
-
Why convert kilogram/hour to microgram/second?
-
This conversion helps translate large bulk mass flows into very fine micro-scale flow rates for precise dosing or environmental measurements.
-
Are there any challenges in converting between these units?
-
Yes, due to the large difference in magnitudes, numerical precision issues and appropriate instrument calibration are important for accurate results.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/hour [kg/h]
-
A unit of mass flow rate denoting the mass in kilograms that passes a point or is consumed per hour.
-
Microgram/second [µg/s]
-
A unit of mass flow rate indicating one microgram of material passing per second, useful for very small flows.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The amount of mass passing through a given point or system per unit of time.
