Conversion Formula
t/h = ton/s × 3265.865064
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 Metric tons per hour
The metric tonne per hour (t/h) equals 1 000/3600 ≈ 0.27778 kg/s, the dominant capacity unit in European and international process engineering. Equipment datasheets for conveyor belts, crushers, mills, dryers, compactors, and cyclone separators specify throughput in t/h. A 500 MW coal plant consumes ≈70-90 t/h of pulverised coal; a large rotary cement kiln produces ≈200-300 t/h of clinker. 1 t/h = 1 000/3600 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/h.
