Convert Grams per minute to Slugs per second
Convert Grams per minute (g/min) to Slugs per second (slug/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
slug/s = g/min × 1.142029431e-6
About Grams per minute
The gram per minute (g/min) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ kg/s, common in food processing (condiment dispensing, coffee brewing), and laboratory flow chemistry. A standard espresso machine draws water at ≈30 g/min through the portafilter; a micro-reactor feed pump for organic synthesis is calibrated in g/min. 1 g/min = 1/60 g/s ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ kg/s.
About Slugs per second
The slug per second (slug/s) equals 14.5939029372 kg/s, derived from the Imperial system where 1 slug = 1 lb·s²/ft ≈ 14.594 kg. The slug is the coherent mass unit in the foot-pound-second system; rocket propulsion engineers using US customary units express mass flow in slug/s. A standard American rocket engine consuming 75 000 lb/s of propellant corresponds to ≈75 000/32.174 ≈ 1 830 slug/s. 1 slug/s = 14.5939029372... kg/s.
