Examples
-
Convert 2 gram/second/sq. centimeter to gram/second/square meter: 2 × 10000 = 20000 gram/second/square meter.
-
Convert 0.5 gram/second/sq. centimeter to gram/second/square meter: 0.5 × 10000 = 5000 gram/second/square meter.
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring evaporation or condensation flux from soil, vegetation, or water surfaces.
-
Determining mass transfer rates through membranes or porous substances in chemical and environmental engineering.
-
Assessing deposition rates in thin-film coating or sputtering processes.
-
Quantifying aerosol or liquid spray deposition in agricultural testing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent use of units to avoid confusion when reporting surface mass transfer.
-
Consider the significant difference between square centimeter and square meter areas when interpreting values.
-
Use this tool to standardize measurements for better comparison across experiments or reports.
-
Verify measurement precision and uniform surface conditions for accurate conversions.
Limitations
-
Large scale difference between square centimeter and square meter causes numeric value changes by factors of ten thousand.
-
Accuracy depends on the precision of initial measurements and surface uniformity assumptions.
-
Some instruments may not measure directly in both units, so reliable conversion is essential for data consistency.

Key Terminology
-
Mass flux density
-
The rate of mass flow per unit surface area, indicating how much mass passes through or deposits on a surface per second.
-
Gram/second/sq. centimeter
-
A unit measuring mass flow rate per one square centimeter of surface area each second.
-
Gram/second/square meter
-
A larger area-based unit for mass flux density, representing mass flow crossing one square meter per second.
