Convert Metric tons per minute to Grams per second
Convert Metric tons per minute (t/min) to Grams per second (g/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
g/s = t/min × 16666.66667
About Metric tons per minute
The metric tonne per minute (t/min) equals 1 000/60 ≈ 16.667 kg/s, used for large-scale mining conveyor capacity, bulk-carrier loading terminals, and industrial furnace melt rates. A Cape-size bulk carrier loads iron ore at 3 000-5 000 t/h = 50-83 t/min; a large electric arc furnace taps ≈100-200 t of steel per heat over roughly 60-90 min. 1 t/min = 1 000/60 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/min.
About Grams per second
The gram per second (g/s) equals 10⁻³ kg/s, a practical laboratory and light-industrial unit. Water flowing from a standard kitchen tap runs at roughly 60-80 g/s; a 3D printer extruder deposits filament at 0.5-2 g/s; an automated pill-dispensing machine doses powders at 1-10 g/s. It is also the preferred unit for small engine fuel-consumption test benches. 1 g/s = 10⁻³ kg/s = 3.6 kg/h.
