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 Pounds per minute
The pound per minute (lb/min) equals 0.45359237/60 ≈ 7.560×10⁻³ kg/s, the standard unit for US fire-suppression system design (sprinkler flow demand) and HVAC hydronic loop balancing. A fire-sprinkler head at 15 psi discharges roughly 30-40 lb/min of water; industrial humidifiers are rated in lb/min of steam. 1 lb/min ≈ 7.560×10⁻³ kg/s = 60 lb/h.
