Key Terminology
-
Ton (metric)/minute [t/min]
-
A mass flow rate unit representing metric tons (tonnes) passing per minute, commonly used for large-scale industrial material handling.
-
Hectogram/second [hg/s]
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating how many hectograms (100 grams) pass through a cross-section every second, useful for smaller scale precision dosing and laboratory processes.
