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 Kilograms per hour
The kilogram per hour (kg/h) equals 1/3600 kg/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ kg/s, the dominant metric unit in the chemical and petrochemical industry for equipment sizing. Distillation column feed rates, reactor throughputs, heat-exchanger duty calculations, and pump datasheets routinely use kg/h. A 500 MW coal-fired power station burns ≈180 000 kg/h of coal. 1 kg/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ kg/s = 2.205 lb/h.
