About Short tons per second

The short ton per second (ton/s, US) equals 907.18474 kg/s, used for the very highest industrial and military throughput rates. The Space Shuttle Main Engine consumed propellant at ≈480 kg/s LOX + 160 kg/s LH2 ≈ 640 kg/s ≈ 0.71 ton/s; a large blast-furnace tap discharges molten iron at 1-3 ton/s. 1 short ton/s = 907.18474 kg/s = 2 000 lb/s.

About Kilograms per day

The kilogram per day (kg/d) equals 1/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ kg/s, standard in environmental engineering for pollutant load calculations and water-treatment material dosing. Activated-carbon dosing for a water-treatment plant, sludge dewatering output, and river sediment transport surveys all use kg/d. A medium river in flood may move 10 000-100 000 kg/d of suspended solids. 1 kg/d ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ kg/s.
