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 Slugs per second
The slug per second (slug/s) equals 14.5939029372 kg/s, derived from the Imperial system where 1 slug = 1 lb·s²/ft ≈ 14.594 kg. The slug is the coherent mass unit in the foot-pound-second system; rocket propulsion engineers using US customary units express mass flow in slug/s. A standard American rocket engine consuming 75 000 lb/s of propellant corresponds to ≈75 000/32.174 ≈ 1 830 slug/s. 1 slug/s = 14.5939029372... kg/s.
