kilogram per second to gram per second
Convert kilogram per second (kg/s) to gram per second (g/s). Use an editable mass flow rate converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kg/s = 1,000 g/s
Conversion formula
One kilogram per second equals 1,000 gram per second. Multiply your value in kilogram per second by this factor to get gram per second. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kilogram per second:5 × 1,000 = 5,000 g/s

About these measurements
Mass flow rate measures mass passing a point per unit time.
The base reference used here is the kilogram per second. One kilogram per second is 1 base units; one gram per second is 0.001 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert kg/s to g/s?
Multiply the quantity in kg/s by 1,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the gram per second to kilogram per second converter.
