About Grains per minute
The grain per minute (gr/min) equals 6.479891×10⁻⁵/60 ≈ 1.080×10⁻⁶ kg/s. This unit appears in HVAC humidity engineering: moisture added or removed from conditioned air is traditionally expressed in grains of water per pound of dry air per minute in US practice. A whole-house humidifier may evaporate 300-600 gr/min at design load. 1 gr/min ≈ 1.080×10⁻⁶ kg/s.
About Short tons per hour
The short ton per hour (ton/h, US) equals 907.18474/3600 ≈ 0.25199 kg/s, the standard capacity unit for US aggregate crushers, coal-fired power plants, and pellet mills. ASHRAE steam-boiler size references, cement plant kiln output, and mine-hoist capacity are all quoted in short ton/h. A large gyratory crusher processes 1 000-3 000 short ton/h. 1 short ton/h ≈ 0.25199 kg/s ≈ 0.9072 t/h.
