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 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.
