About Long hundredweights per day
The long hundredweight per day (cwt/d, UK) equals 50.80234544/86400 ≈ 5.880×10⁻⁴ kg/s, encountered in legacy British industrial reports for colliery output, port-handling capacity, and sugar-refinery throughput. Historical British coal-mine productivity was routinely expressed in long cwt per miner per day. 1 long cwt/d ≈ 5.880×10⁻⁴ kg/s = 112 lb/d.
About Long tons per second
The long ton per second (long ton/s) equals 1 016.0469088 kg/s, based on the UK long ton of 2 240 lb used historically in British heavy industry and naval engineering. It quantifies extremely high discharge rates such as large dam break surges or catastrophic industrial spillages. 1 long ton/s = 1 016.0469088 kg/s ≈ 1.016 t/s ≈ 1.120 short ton/s.
