Conversion Formula
t/s = cwt/d × 5.879901093e-7
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 second
The metric tonne per second (t/s) equals 1 000 kg/s, the largest commonly cited mass-flow unit for catastrophic events and mega-scale engineering. The Chicxulub impactor released energy equivalent to removing ≈7×10¹¹ t of TNT over milliseconds; large submarine volcanic eruptions expel lava at 10³-10⁴ t/s. Industrial context: the Three Gorges Dam passes ≈45 000 m³/s of water = ≈45 000 t/s at peak flood. 1 t/s = 1 000 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/s.
