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 minute

The kilogram per minute (kg/min) equals 1/60 kg/s ≈ 0.01667 kg/s, convenient for medium-scale industrial processes and chemical reactors. A cement transit-mixer discharges ready-mix at ≈200-400 kg/min; a grain auger on a combine harvester typically moves 300-600 kg/min; an industrial coffee roaster cycles 120-180 kg/min of beans through the drum. 1 kg/min = 1/60 kg/s = 60 kg/h.
