About Short tons per hour
The short ton per hour (ton/h, US) equals 907.18474/3600 ≈ 0.25199 kg/s, the standard capacity unit for US aggregate crushers, coal-fired power plants, and pellet mills. ASHRAE steam-boiler size references, cement plant kiln output, and mine-hoist capacity are all quoted in short ton/h. A large gyratory crusher processes 1 000-3 000 short ton/h. 1 short ton/h ≈ 0.25199 kg/s ≈ 0.9072 t/h.
About Metric tons per second
The metric tonne per second (t/s) equals 1 000 kg/s, the largest commonly cited mass-flow unit for catastrophic events and mega-scale engineering. The Chicxulub impactor released energy equivalent to removing ≈7×10¹¹ t of TNT over milliseconds; large submarine volcanic eruptions expel lava at 10³-10⁴ t/s. Industrial context: the Three Gorges Dam passes ≈45 000 m³/s of water = ≈45 000 t/s at peak flood. 1 t/s = 1 000 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/s.
