Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does milligram per hour measure?
-
Milligram per hour measures the amount of mass transferred, emitted, or consumed at the rate of one milligram every hour, typically for very small mass flows.
-
Why convert mg/h to g/s?
-
Converting from mg/h to g/s allows integration of small mass flow rates into systems that use standard SI units, facilitating precise control and comparison in scientific and engineering applications.
-
What are typical applications of gram per second units?
-
Gram per second is used for quantifying mass flow rates in chemical reactors, fuel injection, aerosol generation, and environmental or leak testing.
Key Terminology
-
Milligram per hour (mg/h)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating one milligram of mass transfer each hour, used for very small-scale flow measurements.
-
Gram per second (g/s)
-
A unit expressing the mass flow rate of grams passing per second, commonly used in scientific and engineering applications.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a given point or area per unit time.
