What Is This Tool?

This tool converts mass flux density measurements from gram/second/square meter to pound/hour/square foot. It facilitates expressing mass transfer rates across surfaces or areas in units commonly used in engineering fields, power plants, HVAC systems, and coating processes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gram/second/square meter that you wish to convert
  • Select gram/second/square meter as the input unit and pound/hour/square foot as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in pound/hour/square foot
  • Use the converted result for engineering design, analysis, or reporting

Key Features

  • Converts mass flux density between gram/second/square meter and pound/hour/square foot
  • Adapts unit values for use in scientific, engineering, and industrial contexts
  • Supports conversion for applications involving evaporation, condensation, coating, and mass transfer
  • Provides direct application for power generation, HVAC, chemical engineering, and thin-film processes

Examples

  • 5 gram/second/square meter = 5 × 0.7373381093 = 3.6866905465 pound/hour/square foot
  • 0.2 gram/second/square meter = 0.2 × 0.7373381093 = 0.1474676219 pound/hour/square foot

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing evaporation or condensation fluxes from soil, vegetation, or water surfaces
  • Quantifying mass transfer through membranes or porous media in chemical and environmental engineering
  • Reporting deposition rates in thin-film coating or sputtering procedures
  • Specifying steam or water mass flux in boilers and heat exchangers within power plants
  • Assessing air or particulate flux through HVAC ducts and filters

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent definitions of area and time units to maintain accuracy during conversions
  • Use uniform flow assumptions cautiously and account for heterogeneous or turbulent conditions separately
  • Apply converted values in contexts compatible with local engineering or industrial standards
  • Verify measurement methods and system standards when switching between SI and imperial units

Limitations

  • Conversion accuracy depends on consistent measurement definitions of square meter versus square foot and second versus hour
  • Assumes uniform distribution of mass flux across the area, which may not hold for all flow conditions
  • Differences in system standards and measurement uncertainties may affect converted results

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gram/second/square meter measure?
It measures mass flux density, indicating how many grams of mass pass through or deposit on one square meter every second.

When should I convert to pound/hour/square foot units?
You convert to these units when working with imperial or US customary systems, especially in engineering fields like power plants, HVAC, and coating processes.

Are there any assumptions in this conversion?
Yes, it assumes uniform flow distribution across the area and consistent definitions of area and time units.

Key Terminology

Mass Flux Density
The mass flow rate per unit area, representing how much mass passes through a surface over time.
Gram/second/square meter
A unit measuring mass flux density in metric terms, showing grams of mass transmitted per square meter every second.
Pound/hour/square foot
An imperial unit expressing mass flux density, indicating pounds of mass flowing through one square foot each hour.
