What Is This Tool?
This tool enables the conversion of mass flow values from milligram per day (mg/d) to milligram per minute (mg/min). It is designed to assist users in translating slow, daily mass transfer measurements into finer, per-minute rates suitable for precise process control and clinical or laboratory applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in milligram/day you want to convert
-
Select milligram/day [mg/d] as the input unit
-
Choose milligram/minute [mg/min] as the output unit
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate per minute
Key Features
-
Easy conversion between milligram/day and milligram/minute units
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
-
Supports applications in pharmacokinetics, environmental monitoring, and lab measurements
-
Provides reliable conversion rates and sample calculations
Examples
-
Convert 10 mg/day to mg/min: 10 × 0.0006944444 = 0.006944444 mg/min
-
Convert 1000 mg/day to mg/min: 1000 × 0.0006944444 = 0.6944444 mg/min
Common Use Cases
-
Pharmacokinetics for reporting drug excretion rates in mg/day
-
Environmental monitoring of trace pollutant emissions and depositions
-
Laboratory experiments measuring tiny mass-transfer or leak rates
-
Clinical dosing settings for infusion or nebulizer rates
-
Microfabrication and chemical vapor deposition process control
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure units are selected correctly before converting
-
Use high-precision instruments to measure very low mg/min rates
-
Interpret converted rates considering possible fluctuations in flow
-
Apply this conversion for more granular process control or dosing calculations
Limitations
-
Small values in mg/min may require sensitive measurement tools
-
Assumes uniform flow rate, which may not apply in dynamic conditions
-
Contextual understanding is important when using converted data
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from milligram/day to milligram/minute?
-

Yes, it is suitable for quantifying trace pollutant emissions and other very small mass flows.
Key Terminology
-
Milligram per day [mg/d]
-
A unit measuring the mass flow as milligrams transferred over the period of one day.
-
Milligram per minute [mg/min]
-
A unit expressing the mass flow rate where milligrams pass through a point each minute.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantity of mass moving per unit of time through a system.
