What does centigram/second measure?

Centigram/second measures the rate at which mass, in centigrams, passes a point each second, mainly used for very small-scale flows.

When is ton (metric)/second used?

Ton (metric)/second is used for expressing very large mass flow rates, such as in heavy industry or propulsion engineering, when flows exceed 1000 kg/s.

Why is the conversion factor between cg/s and t/s so small?

Because a centigram is much smaller than a metric ton, the conversion factor is 1×10⁻⁸, reflecting the large scale difference between the units.
