About Metric tons per second
The metric tonne per second (t/s) equals 1 000 kg/s, the largest commonly cited mass-flow unit for catastrophic events and mega-scale engineering. The Chicxulub impactor released energy equivalent to removing ≈7×10¹¹ t of TNT over milliseconds; large submarine volcanic eruptions expel lava at 10³-10⁴ t/s. Industrial context: the Three Gorges Dam passes ≈45 000 m³/s of water = ≈45 000 t/s at peak flood. 1 t/s = 1 000 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/s.
About Grains per second
The grain per second (gr/s) equals 64.79891 mg/s or 6.479891×10⁻⁵ kg/s. The grain (= 1/7000 lb exactly) is the smallest avoirdupois mass unit, still used in ballistics for bullet and propellant-charge weights. A .308 Winchester rifle bullet of 168 gr fired in 1 s represents 168 gr/s; powder charge is typically 40-46 gr. 1 gr/s = 6.479891×10⁻⁵ kg/s = 64.79891 mg/s.
