About Long hundredweights per hour
The long hundredweight per hour (cwt/h, UK) equals 50.80234544/3600 ≈ 0.014112 kg/s. The long hundredweight (112 lb = 8 stone) was the standard commercial weight in British wholesale trade. It survives in historic UK cement and bulk-aggregate pricing sheets and in some British agricultural markets. 1 long cwt/h ≈ 0.014112 kg/s = 112 lb/h.
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.
