Convert Milligrams per hour to Short tons per second
Convert Milligrams per hour (mg/h) to Short tons per second (ton/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ton/s = mg/h × 3.061975864e-13
About Milligrams per hour
The milligram per hour (mg/h) equals 10⁻⁶/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ kg/s, adopted in transdermal drug-patch pharmacokinetics to express dermal absorption rate. A nicotine patch typically releases 14-21 mg over 24 h, corresponding to ≈0.58-0.88 mg/h. Environmental emission tests for laboratory fume hoods also express contaminant escape in mg/h. 1 mg/h = 1/3600 mg/s.
About Short tons per second
The short ton per second (ton/s, US) equals 907.18474 kg/s, used for the very highest industrial and military throughput rates. The Space Shuttle Main Engine consumed propellant at ≈480 kg/s LOX + 160 kg/s LH2 ≈ 640 kg/s ≈ 0.71 ton/s; a large blast-furnace tap discharges molten iron at 1-3 ton/s. 1 short ton/s = 907.18474 kg/s = 2 000 lb/s.
