Mass Flow Rate Converter
Convert mass flow rate ($\dot{m} = \rho Q$) across SI ($\text{kg/s}, \text{kg/h}, \text{g/s}$), imperial ($\text{lb/h}, \text{lb/s}$), and industrial tonnage ($\text{t/h}$) systems.

💡 Mass Flow Conversion:
1 kg/s = 3,600 kg/h = 7,936.64 lb/h = 2.2046 lb/s = 3.60 t/h
Understanding Mass Flow Rate
Mass flow rate ($\dot{m}$) is the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time:
- Mass vs Volumetric Flow: $$\dot{m} = \rho \cdot Q = \rho \cdot A \cdot v$$ ($\rho = \text{fluid density}$, $Q = \text{volumetric flow}$).
- SI Standard: Kilograms per second ($\text{kg/s}$).
- Steam & Boiler Industry Standard: Expressed in $\text{kg/h}$ or $\text{lb/h}$ (often abbreviated as PPH).
