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 Short tons per minute
The short ton per minute (ton/min, US) equals 907.18474/60 ≈ 15.120 kg/s, typical for high-capacity conveyor belts and bucket-wheel excavators in open-cast mining. A large surface coal mine loads unit trains with overland conveyors rated at 5 000-15 000 short ton/h = 83-250 ton/min. 1 short ton/min ≈ 15.120 kg/s = 2 000 lb/min.
