Convert Micrograms per hour to Milligrams per minute
Convert Micrograms per hour (µg/h) to Milligrams per minute (mg/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mg/min = µg/h × 1.666666667e-5
About Micrograms per hour
The microgram per hour (µg/h) equals 10⁻⁹/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹³ kg/s, used in corrosion science to quantify mass loss rates of thin films or passive oxide layers. A stainless steel specimen losing 1 µg/h represents an extremely low corrosion rate typical of passive surfaces in neutral aqueous environments. 1 µg/h = 1/3600 µg/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹³ kg/s.
About Milligrams per minute
The milligram per minute (mg/min) equals 10⁻⁶/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ kg/s, the preferred unit for laboratory peristaltic pump output and aerosol generator calibration. Metered-dose inhalers deliver 100-500 µg of active compound per actuation; at 1 actuation per minute that is 0.1-0.5 mg/min. 1 mg/min = 1/60 mg/s ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ kg/s.
