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.
About Kilograms per hour
The kilogram per hour (kg/h) equals 1/3600 kg/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ kg/s, the dominant metric unit in the chemical and petrochemical industry for equipment sizing. Distillation column feed rates, reactor throughputs, heat-exchanger duty calculations, and pump datasheets routinely use kg/h. A 500 MW coal-fired power station burns ≈180 000 kg/h of coal. 1 kg/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ kg/s = 2.205 lb/h.
