About Short tons per day

The short ton per day (ton/d, US) equals 907.18474/86400 ≈ 0.010499 kg/s, the capacity unit for mid-size mining operations, smelters, and US water-treatment chemical dosing. A small gold mine may process 500-1 000 short ton/d of ore; activated-sludge wastewater plants dose chemicals in short ton/d. 1 short ton/d ≈ 0.010499 kg/s ≈ 2 000 lb/d.

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.
