About Long tons per hour

The long ton per hour (long ton/h) equals 1 016.0469088/3600 ≈ 0.28224 kg/s, the traditional British equivalent of t/h still seen in pre-metric UK engineering datasheets and Lloyd's Register vessel capacity tables. An older British colliery might report winding-tower output in long ton/h; historic cement-kiln logs used long ton/h. 1 long ton/h ≈ 0.28224 kg/s ≈ 1.016 t/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.
