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 Slugs per second
The slug per second (slug/s) equals 14.5939029372 kg/s, derived from the Imperial system where 1 slug = 1 lb·s²/ft ≈ 14.594 kg. The slug is the coherent mass unit in the foot-pound-second system; rocket propulsion engineers using US customary units express mass flow in slug/s. A standard American rocket engine consuming 75 000 lb/s of propellant corresponds to ≈75 000/32.174 ≈ 1 830 slug/s. 1 slug/s = 14.5939029372... kg/s.
