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 Micrograms per hour
The microgram per hour (µg/h) equals 10⁻⁹/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹³ kg/s, used in corrosion science to quantify mass loss rates of thin films or passive oxide layers. A stainless steel specimen losing 1 µg/h represents an extremely low corrosion rate typical of passive surfaces in neutral aqueous environments. 1 µg/h = 1/3600 µg/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹³ kg/s.
