Mass Flow Rate
mg/stog/hr
Convert milligrams per second (mg/s) to grams per hour (g/hr).
Factor1 mg/s = 3.6 g/hr
Converter
mg/s
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
g/hr
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
g/hr = mg/s × 3.6
Multiply any value in milligrams per second by 3.6 to obtain the value in grams per hour.
Worked example
Convert 10 mg/s to g/hr.
- 01Start with 10 mg/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 3.6 = 36 g/hr.
Result10 mg/s = 36 g/hr

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mg/s to g/hr?
1 mg/s equals 3.6 g/hr. To convert, multiply the value in milligrams per second by 3.6.
How do I convert 1 mg/s to g/hr?
1 mg/s = 3.6 g/hr. For any value, multiply by 3.6.
How do I convert g/hr back to mg/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.2777778. So 1 g/hr = 0.277778 mg/s.
When would I need to convert milligram per second to gram per hour?
Mass flow conversions between mg/s and g/hr are common in material balances, process stream summaries, bulk solids handling, custody transfer, and equipment sizing where kg/hr, t/hr, lb/hr, and lb/s may all appear in different datasheets or vendor documents.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
