Grams per second to centigrams per second converter
Convert grams per second (g/s) to centigrams per second (cg/s). Calculate any value, follow the unit-factor steps and check a conversion table.
Updated · How we checkUse a decimal point, such as 2.5. Enter a value in g/s; the result is in cg/s.
Formula
Worked example
Convert 1 g/s to cg/s:
1 g/s ≈ 100 cg/s
Multiply your g/s value by the factor above. The calculator uses the full conversion factor before rounding the displayed answer.

What grams per second measure
Grams per second (g/s) represent mass flow rate. One unit equals 10^-3 kg/s. Mass flow rate is mass transported per elapsed time; the denominator here is one second.
Reading the result in centigrams per second
Centigrams per second (cg/s) represent mass flow rate. One unit equals 10^-5 kg/s. Mass flow rate is mass transported per elapsed time; the denominator here is one second.
Where this conversion helps
Compare mass-flow readings after matching the unit scale. A volume flow requires density to become mass flow. Gas density depends on pressure, temperature and composition.
How the scale changes
The input unit has a factor of 1e-3 kg/s; the output unit has a factor of 1e-5 kg/s. Multiply the entered number by the input factor, then divide by the output factor. The physical quantity stays the same while its numerical representation changes.
Reading very small or large results
Scientific notation keeps very small and large values readable: 2.5e-6 means 0.0000025. The converter calculates with 50 significant digits internally and displays up to 10. Exact unit definitions do not remove uncertainty from the original measurement.
