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 Pounds per hour
The pound per hour (lb/h) equals 0.45359237/3600 ≈ 1.260×10⁻⁴ kg/s, the dominant unit in US process engineering and steam-boiler rating. Packaged steam boilers are rated in lb/h of steam output (typical range 100-2 000 lb/h); HVAC cooling-coil latent loads are calculated in lb/h of moisture; flue-gas emission inventories are reported in lb/h per stack. 1 lb/h ≈ 1.260×10⁻⁴ kg/s.
