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.

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.
