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.
About Long tons per second
The long ton per second (long ton/s) equals 1 016.0469088 kg/s, based on the UK long ton of 2 240 lb used historically in British heavy industry and naval engineering. It quantifies extremely high discharge rates such as large dam break surges or catastrophic industrial spillages. 1 long ton/s = 1 016.0469088 kg/s ≈ 1.016 t/s ≈ 1.120 short ton/s.
