A Mass Flow Converter is a tool that allows you to convert between different units of mass flow rate. Mass flow rate measures the amount of mass passing through a given area per unit of time. It is commonly used in applications like fluid dynamics, engineering, and thermodynamics to describe the flow of substances, such as air, water, or any other material.
Common Units of Mass Flow:
- Kilograms per second (kg/s): The SI unit of mass flow rate. It measures how many kilograms of a substance flow per second.
- Grams per second (g/s): A smaller unit of mass flow, where 1 kg = 1,000 g.
- Pounds per second (lb/s): Common in the imperial system, used to measure mass flow in the US and other countries.
- Kilograms per minute (kg/min): A unit used to describe mass flow in contexts where the flow is measured per minute rather than per second.
- Grams per minute (g/min): Used when mass flow is smaller, for example, in laboratory or food industries.
- Pounds per minute (lb/min): Used to describe mass flow in pounds, typically in food and beverage industries or manufacturing.
- Tons per hour (t/h): A unit used in large-scale processes like mining, bulk material transport, or manufacturing.
- Tonnes per hour (t/h): Metric equivalent of tons per hour, commonly used in industrial processes.
