About Short tons per minute
The short ton per minute (ton/min, US) equals 907.18474/60 ≈ 15.120 kg/s, typical for high-capacity conveyor belts and bucket-wheel excavators in open-cast mining. A large surface coal mine loads unit trains with overland conveyors rated at 5 000-15 000 short ton/h = 83-250 ton/min. 1 short ton/min ≈ 15.120 kg/s = 2 000 lb/min.
About Grams per second
The gram per second (g/s) equals 10⁻³ kg/s, a practical laboratory and light-industrial unit. Water flowing from a standard kitchen tap runs at roughly 60-80 g/s; a 3D printer extruder deposits filament at 0.5-2 g/s; an automated pill-dispensing machine doses powders at 1-10 g/s. It is also the preferred unit for small engine fuel-consumption test benches. 1 g/s = 10⁻³ kg/s = 3.6 kg/h.
