Convert Long tons per minute to Short tons per second
Convert Long tons per minute (long ton/min) to Short tons per second (ton/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ton/s = long ton/min × 0.01866666667
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 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.
