Conversion Formula
µg/h = slug/s × 52538050570000
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.
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.
