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.
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.
