About Long tons per day
The long ton per day (long ton/d) equals 1 016.0469088/86400 ≈ 0.011760 kg/s, used in legacy British mining reports for daily colliery output and in Naval fuel-consumption logs. Historic British Admiralty fuel expenditure tables for Royal Navy warships used long ton/d for bunker coal or oil consumption at various speeds. 1 long ton/d ≈ 0.011760 kg/s ≈ 1.016 t/d.
About Metric tons per hour
The metric tonne per hour (t/h) equals 1 000/3600 ≈ 0.27778 kg/s, the dominant capacity unit in European and international process engineering. Equipment datasheets for conveyor belts, crushers, mills, dryers, compactors, and cyclone separators specify throughput in t/h. A 500 MW coal plant consumes ≈70-90 t/h of pulverised coal; a large rotary cement kiln produces ≈200-300 t/h of clinker. 1 t/h = 1 000/3600 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/h.
