What does milligram per minute measure?

Milligram per minute (mg/min) measures the mass flow rate of a material in milligrams passing through a system every minute, often used for very low flow rates.

When should I use ton (metric) per day as a unit?

Ton (metric) per day [t/d] is suitable for expressing average mass throughput over a 24-hour period, commonly applied in industrial production and environmental monitoring.

Can this conversion be used for fluctuating flow rates?

No, the conversion assumes steady flow rates and does not account for variations over time, so it is best used for consistent flow measurements.

Common Use Cases

Setting infusion or nebulizer dosing rates for potent pharmaceuticals
Specifying material deposition rates in microfabrication and CVD processes
Measuring trace emissions in environmental analysis
Reporting industrial production rates such as cement or fertilizer manufacturing
Planning bulk material logistics like coal or ore transport
Monitoring wastewater discharge and environmental processing rates

Tips & Best Practices

Use the tool for converting steady-state flow rates only
Apply milligram/minute units for very low flow rates to maintain measurement relevance
Use ton (metric)/day units to represent average daily throughput in larger-scale processes
Double-check unit selections to avoid incorrect conversions across widely different scales
Be aware of potential rounding effects when converting very small values to larger units

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady flow rates without accounting for temporal fluctuations
Milligram/minute is designed for very small flows while ton/day targets much larger scales
Direct conversions may reduce resolution or applicability if used outside intended ranges
Precision can be affected by rounding when handling extremely small or large values
