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 Pounds per second
The pound per second (lb/s) equals 0.45359237 kg/s, widely used in aerospace and large industrial equipment. A Saturn V first-stage engine consumed ≈13 short tons of propellant per second, equal to ≈26 000 lb/s; a typical large centrifugal pump handling water moves ≈500-2000 lb/s at operating flow. 1 lb/s = 0.45359237 kg/s ≈ 3 600 lb/h.
