ONE FORMULA, ONE ANSWER

Mass Flow Rate Calculator

Convert volumetric flow to mass flow for gas supply and material balances. Choose input units and calculate one value within the stated conditions.

Inputs

Greater than zero after conversion to SI

Negative, zero or positive

Calculations run in this browser. Scientific notation such as 1.2e-3 is supported. Do not group thousands.

Result

Mass flow rate ṁ

Enter values and select Calculate.

FORMULA

ṁ = ρ Q

Assumptions

Use ρ>0. Do not combine a standard-condition gas flow rate with an actual-condition density. The cross-section must admit a representative mean density and flow rate.

Displayed values are floating-point approximations. Measurement uncertainty and design safety factors are not calculated.
