Why convert from kilogram/minute to megagram/second?

Converting kg/min to Mg/s allows translating smaller mass flow rates into a larger SI unit useful for quantifying very large mass flows in industrial applications.

Where are these units commonly used?

Both units are used in industries such as power generation, chemical processing, mining, and heavy industry for mass flow measurement of gases, liquids, or solids.

Is this converter suitable for manual calculations?

Due to very small decimal values resulting from this conversion, manual calculations might be less intuitive; using the tool ensures more accurate results.
