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 Short tons per day
The short ton per day (ton/d, US) equals 907.18474/86400 ≈ 0.010499 kg/s, the capacity unit for mid-size mining operations, smelters, and US water-treatment chemical dosing. A small gold mine may process 500-1 000 short ton/d of ore; activated-sludge wastewater plants dose chemicals in short ton/d. 1 short ton/d ≈ 0.010499 kg/s ≈ 2 000 lb/d.
