Convert Long tons per minute to Metric tons per second
Convert Long tons per minute (long ton/min) to Metric tons per second (t/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
t/s = long ton/min × 0.01693411515
About Long tons per minute
The long ton per minute (long ton/min) equals 1 016.0469088/60 ≈ 16.934 kg/s, historically used in British blast-furnace output measurements, port handling-rate calculations, and Royal Navy fuel-consumption specifications. A large grain terminal loading a Panamax vessel may achieve 4 000 long ton/h = ≈67 long ton/min. 1 long ton/min ≈ 16.934 kg/s.
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.
