Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 'ton (short)/hour' measure?
-
It represents the mass flow rate of one US short ton, exactly 907.18474 kilograms, passing or processed per hour.
-
Why convert ton (short)/hour to milligram/day?
-
This conversion allows translation of large industrial mass flows into very small-scale rates needed for precision monitoring in fields like environmental science or pharmacology.
-
What challenges come with converting to milligram/day?
-
Due to the large scale difference, the converted results can be very large numbers, making data handling and interpretation challenging.
