Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the mass flow rate is steady and continuous for accurate daily average calculations
-
Be mindful of the different definitions between US short tons and metric tonnes
-
Use consistent time frames when comparing or aggregating hourly and daily flow rates
Limitations
-
Assumes consistent mass flow without interruptions which can affect daily averages
-
Differences between US short tons and metric tonnes may cause confusion in international contexts
-
Requires careful handling of the hourly to daily time basis for meaningful comparisons
Frequently Asked Questions
