Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound/hour/square foot measure?
It measures mass flux density as the mass in pounds flowing through one square foot of surface area in one hour.

Why convert to gram/second/sq. centimeter?
Gram/second/sq. centimeter is commonly used in fluid mechanics and heat/mass transfer for precise, smaller-scale measurements in SI units.

Can this conversion be used directly in both Imperial and metric systems?
No, careful adjustments are needed since the conversion involves different unit scales and contexts.
