Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from teragram/second to centigram/second?
-
To translate mass flow rates across vastly different scales, facilitating applications from astrophysical events to laboratory instrumentation.
-
What does 1 teragram/second represent?
-
It equals one trillion grams per second, describing extremely large-scale mass fluxes such as those found in planetary or astrophysical contexts.
-
Where is centigram/second commonly used?
-
It is often used for very small mass flow rates in microfluidics, pharmaceutical dosing, and analytical instruments.
Key Terminology
-
Teragram/second (Tg/s)
-
A mass flow rate unit equal to 10^12 grams per second, used for describing extremely large-scale mass movements.
-
Centigram/second (cg/s)
-
A small-scale mass flow rate unit equal to one hundredth of a gram per second, used in laboratory and microfluidic contexts.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a point per unit of time.
