Gram per square centimeter second quick reference
| Gram per square centimeter second | Kilogram per square meter second | Pound per square foot hour | Kilogram per square meter hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 g/(cm²·s) | = 10 kg/(m²·s) | ≈ 7373.38117 lb/(ft²·h) | = 36000 kg/(m²·h) |
| 10 g/(cm²·s) | = 100 kg/(m²·s) | ≈ 73733.8117 lb/(ft²·h) | = 360000 kg/(m²·h) |
| 100 g/(cm²·s) | = 1000 kg/(m²·s) | ≈ 737338.117 lb/(ft²·h) | = 3600000 kg/(m²·h) |
| 1000 g/(cm²·s) | = 10000 kg/(m²·s) | ≈ 7373381.17 lb/(ft²·h) | = 36000000 kg/(m²·h) |
Where the gram per square centimeter second fits
The next smaller mass flux density unit is the pound per square foot second (lb/(ft²·s)). 1 g/(cm²·s) ≈ 2.048161436 lb/(ft²·s), and 1 lb/(ft²·s) ≈ 0.4882427636 g/(cm²·s).
