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 Kilograms per minute
The kilogram per minute (kg/min) equals 1/60 kg/s ≈ 0.01667 kg/s, convenient for medium-scale industrial processes and chemical reactors. A cement transit-mixer discharges ready-mix at ≈200-400 kg/min; a grain auger on a combine harvester typically moves 300-600 kg/min; an industrial coffee roaster cycles 120-180 kg/min of beans through the drum. 1 kg/min = 1/60 kg/s = 60 kg/h.
