Kilogram per square meter second quick reference
| Kilogram per square meter second | Pound per square foot hour | Kilogram per square meter hour | Gram per square centimeter second |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg/(m²·s) | ≈ 737.338117 lb/(ft²·h) | = 3600 kg/(m²·h) | = 0.1 g/(cm²·s) |
| 10 kg/(m²·s) | ≈ 7373.38117 lb/(ft²·h) | = 36000 kg/(m²·h) | = 1 g/(cm²·s) |
| 100 kg/(m²·s) | ≈ 73733.8117 lb/(ft²·h) | = 360000 kg/(m²·h) | = 10 g/(cm²·s) |
| 1000 kg/(m²·s) | ≈ 737338.117 lb/(ft²·h) | = 3600000 kg/(m²·h) | = 100 g/(cm²·s) |
Where the kilogram per square meter second fits
The next smaller mass flux density unit is the pound per square foot hour (lb/(ft²·h)). 1 kg/(m²·s) ≈ 737.338117 lb/(ft²·h), and 1 lb/(ft²·h) ≈ 0.001356229899 kg/(m²·s).
The next larger mass flux density unit is the pound per square foot second (lb/(ft²·s)). 1 kg/(m²·s) ≈ 0.2048161436 lb/(ft²·s), and 1 lb/(ft²·s) ≈ 4.882427636 kg/(m²·s).
