Translating large flow units to very small units involves handling very large numbers
-
Sensitive equipment is necessary to accurately measure minute mass flow rates
-
Conversion assumes steady flows without significant fluctuations during measurement
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ton (short)/hour measure?
-
It measures the mass flow rate of one U.S. short ton moving through a point per hour, used in bulk material processing and transport.
-
Why convert from ton (short)/hour to milligram/hour?
-
Converting enables analysis of very small mass transfer rates derived from large flows, useful in emissions, dosing, and leakage measurements.
-
Are there challenges converting these units?
-
Yes, handling large numbers and requiring precise instruments to measure small mass flow rates can be challenging.
Key Terminology
-
Ton (short)/hour [ton (US)/h]
-
A unit representing one U.S. short ton (2000 lb or 907.18474 kg) passing a point each hour, commonly used in bulk material throughput measurement.
-
Milligram/hour [mg/h]
-
A unit of mass flow indicating the transfer of one milligram of mass per hour, useful for quantifying very small flow rates.
