About Short hundredweights per day

The short hundredweight per day (cwt/d, US) equals 45.359237/86400 ≈ 5.249×10⁻⁴ kg/s. It appears in US agricultural reports where daily throughput of commodity crops (corn, soybeans, hay) or daily milk yield per herd is stated in short cwt/d. A modern dairy farm averaging 80 lb/cow/d at 1 000 cows produces 800 cwt/d. 1 short cwt/d ≈ 5.249×10⁻⁴ kg/s.

About Grains per minute

The grain per minute (gr/min) equals 6.479891×10⁻⁵/60 ≈ 1.080×10⁻⁶ kg/s. This unit appears in HVAC humidity engineering: moisture added or removed from conditioned air is traditionally expressed in grains of water per pound of dry air per minute in US practice. A whole-house humidifier may evaporate 300-600 gr/min at design load. 1 gr/min ≈ 1.080×10⁻⁶ kg/s.
