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 Slugs per hour
The slug per hour (slug/h) equals 14.5939029372/3600 ≈ 4.054×10⁻³ kg/s, used in aviation aerodynamics problems expressed in foot-pound-second units. Engine mass-flow data from legacy US military specifications and NASA test reports use slug/h as an intermediate unit between the tiny slug/s and large slug/day. 1 slug/h ≈ 4.054×10⁻³ kg/s ≈ 32.174 lb/h.
