About Kilograms per second
The kilogram per second (kg/s) is the SI coherent derived unit of mass flow rate relevant across all branches of engineering. Jet turbofan engines pass 100-800 kg/s of air through the core and bypass duct combined; drinking-water intake pipelines for a city of one million people sustain flow rates of 1 000-4 000 kg/s. It is the reference unit in the continuity equation and mass-conservation calculations. 1 kg/s = 3 600 kg/h ≈ 2.205 lb/s.
About Short tons per minute
The short ton per minute (ton/min, US) equals 907.18474/60 ≈ 15.120 kg/s, typical for high-capacity conveyor belts and bucket-wheel excavators in open-cast mining. A large surface coal mine loads unit trains with overland conveyors rated at 5 000-15 000 short ton/h = 83-250 ton/min. 1 short ton/min ≈ 15.120 kg/s = 2 000 lb/min.
