About Metric tons per minute
The metric tonne per minute (t/min) equals 1 000/60 ≈ 16.667 kg/s, used for large-scale mining conveyor capacity, bulk-carrier loading terminals, and industrial furnace melt rates. A Cape-size bulk carrier loads iron ore at 3 000-5 000 t/h = 50-83 t/min; a large electric arc furnace taps ≈100-200 t of steel per heat over roughly 60-90 min. 1 t/min = 1 000/60 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/min.
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.
