About this calculator
Overview
Mass flow rate is the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time. It is a critical measurement in chemical engineering, aerodynamics, and fuel system design.
💡
Pro Tips
Common units include lb/min, kg/s, and g/s.
1 lb/min is approximately 0.4536 kg/min or 0.00756 kg/s.
Mass flow (unlike volumetric flow) remains constant even if the fluid's density changes due to temperature or pressure.

Fun Facts
"Turbocharger performance is often measured in lb/min of air flow."
"Fuel injector flow rates are sometimes given in lb/hr or cc/min (assuming a specific density)."
