Interpret very small decimal outputs with care to avoid rounding errors
-
Use this conversion primarily when relating lab-scale data to industrial-scale processes
-
Double-check conversion results when integrating data across different scales
Limitations
-
Conversion yields extremely small decimal numbers that can be prone to rounding inaccuracies
-
Less practical for routine laboratory measurements without context of large-scale processes
-
Intended mainly for bridging biochemical and industrial molar flow rate scales
