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 Metric tons per minute
The metric tonne per minute (t/min) equals 1 000/60 ≈ 16.667 kg/s, used for large-scale mining conveyor capacity, bulk-carrier loading terminals, and industrial furnace melt rates. A Cape-size bulk carrier loads iron ore at 3 000-5 000 t/h = 50-83 t/min; a large electric arc furnace taps ≈100-200 t of steel per heat over roughly 60-90 min. 1 t/min = 1 000/60 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/min.
