-
Not intended for conversions involving different physical quantities or units outside mass flux density
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gram/second/square meter measure?
-
It measures mass flux density, indicating how many grams of mass pass or deposit on one square meter each second.
-
Why convert gram/second/square meter to kilogram/second/square meter?
-
Converting to kilogram/second/square meter aligns measurements with SI base units for consistent scientific and engineering analysis.
-
Is the conversion factor always the same?
-
Yes, 1 gram/second/square meter equals 0.001 kilogram/second/square meter, based on the relationship between grams and kilograms.
Key Terminology
-
Mass flux density
-
A measure of mass flow rate per unit area, indicating how much mass passes through a surface over time.
-
Gram/second/square meter
-
A unit expressing mass flux density as grams of mass crossing one square meter every second.
-
Kilogram/second/square meter
-
The SI unit of mass flux density, measuring kilograms of mass flow per second through each square meter.
