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 Short hundredweights per hour
The short hundredweight per hour (cwt/h, US) equals 45.359237/3600 ≈ 0.012600 kg/s. The US short hundredweight (100 lb exactly) is used in grain elevator and feed-mill billing sheets, cotton-gin output metering, and livestock-feed blending operations. A small feed mill might process 100-500 short cwt/h of mixed grain. 1 short cwt/h ≈ 0.012600 kg/s = 100 lb/h.
