Mass Flux Density formula and what each symbol means
target = value × (factor of starting unit ÷ factor of target unit), where each factor is the unit value in kg/(s·m²).
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| value | The number you want to convert |
| factor | The unit’s size expressed in the base unit (kg/(s·m²)) |
Mass Flux Density examples
kg/(s·m²) to kg/(h·m²)
10 kg/(s·m²) = 36,000 kg/(h·m²).
kg/(s·m²) to lb/(h·ft²)
10 kg/(s·m²) = 7,373.381 lb/(h·ft²).
kg/(h·m²) to kg/(s·m²)
10 kg/(h·m²) = 0.002777778 kg/(s·m²).
How to calculate Mass Flux Density step by step
- Choose the starting unit and the target unit.
- Enter your value.
- Read the converted value, plus the conversion factor in both directions.

How to read your Mass Flux Density result
Mass flux density is mass flow per unit area. The SI unit is kilogram per second per square metre. It is used for evaporation, drying, filtration and fluid flow through a surface.
| UNIT | SYMBOL | EQUALS | VALUE OF 1 KG/(S·M²) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kilogram per second square meter | kg/(s·m²) | 1 kg/(s·m²) = 1 kg/(s·m²) | 1 kg/(s·m²) |
| Gram per second square centimeter | g/(s·cm²) | 1 g/(s·cm²) = 10 kg/(s·m²) | 0.1 g/(s·cm²) |
| Kilogram per hour square meter | kg/(h·m²) | 1 kg/(h·m²) = 0.00027777778 kg/(s·m²) | 3,600 kg/(h·m²) |
| Pound per hour square foot | lb/(h·ft²) | 1 lb/(h·ft²) = 0.0013562299 kg/(s·m²) | 737.3381 lb/(h·ft²) |
| Pound per second square foot | lb/(s·ft²) | 1 lb/(s·ft²) = 4.8824276 kg/(s·m²) | 0.2048161 lb/(s·ft²) |
Common mistakes when calculating Mass Flux Density
- Confusing mass flux (per area) with mass flow (total).
- Mixing kg/(h·m²) with kg/(s·m²), which differ by 3,600.
- Forgetting to square the length factor between m² and ft².
Mass Flux Density FAQ
How many kg/(s·m²) is 1 kg/(h·m²)?
1/3,600, about 2.7778×10⁻⁴ kg/(s·m²).
How many kg/(s·m²) is 1 lb/(h·ft²)?
About 1.3563×10⁻³ kg/(s·m²).
How do I get total mass flow from mass flux?
Multiply the flux by the area it passes through.
What is the base unit for mass flux density?
This converter uses kilogram per second square meter (kg/(s·m²)) as the common base unit: every value is first converted to it and then to the target unit.
How do I convert between two mass flux density units?
Choose the starting and target units, enter the value and read the result. By hand: convert to the base unit with the table, then divide by the target unit factor.
How many kilograms per hour square meter are in 1 kilogram per second square meter?
1 kg/(s·m²) = 3,600 kg/(h·m²).
How many pounds per hour square foot are in 1 kilogram per second square meter?
1 kg/(s·m²) = 737.3381 lb/(h·ft²).
How many kilograms per second square meter are in 1 kilogram per hour square meter?
1 kg/(h·m²) = 0.0002777778 kg/(s·m²).
Which mass flux density units does this converter support?
It covers 5 units: kilogram per second square meter (kg/(s·m²)), gram per second square centimeter (g/(s·cm²)), kilogram per hour square meter (kg/(h·m²)), pound per hour square foot (lb/(h·ft²)), pound per second square foot (lb/(s·ft²)).
How accurate is the mass flux density converter?
Results are calculated at full double precision and shown to about 8 significant figures. Round the answer to the precision of your original measurement; a result cannot be more accurate than the number you started with.
