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 Short tons per day
The short ton per day (ton/d, US) equals 907.18474/86400 ≈ 0.010499 kg/s, the capacity unit for mid-size mining operations, smelters, and US water-treatment chemical dosing. A small gold mine may process 500-1 000 short ton/d of ore; activated-sludge wastewater plants dose chemicals in short ton/d. 1 short ton/d ≈ 0.010499 kg/s ≈ 2 000 lb/d.
