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 Short tons per second
The short ton per second (ton/s, US) equals 907.18474 kg/s, used for the very highest industrial and military throughput rates. The Space Shuttle Main Engine consumed propellant at ≈480 kg/s LOX + 160 kg/s LH2 ≈ 640 kg/s ≈ 0.71 ton/s; a large blast-furnace tap discharges molten iron at 1-3 ton/s. 1 short ton/s = 907.18474 kg/s = 2 000 lb/s.
