What does milligram per minute measure?

Milligram per minute (mg/min) measures the mass flow rate representing the amount of mass passing through a point every minute in milligrams.

Why convert mg/min to dg/s?

Converting mg/min to dg/s helps express small mass flow rates on a per second basis, which is useful for precise timing in pharmaceutical and microfluidic applications.

What should I consider when converting these units?

You should consider steady flow assumptions and equipment sensitivity, and be cautious about unit scales and differing time bases to avoid incorrect interpretations.
