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 second
The long ton per second (long ton/s) equals 1 016.0469088 kg/s, based on the UK long ton of 2 240 lb used historically in British heavy industry and naval engineering. It quantifies extremely high discharge rates such as large dam break surges or catastrophic industrial spillages. 1 long ton/s = 1 016.0469088 kg/s ≈ 1.016 t/s ≈ 1.120 short ton/s.
