What Is This Tool?

This tool converts mass flow rates measured in ton (short) per hour to pound per second, helping translate hourly bulk material or cargo throughput into a per-second mass flow rate used in engineering and process control.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in ton (short)/hour you want to convert
  • Select the from unit as ton (short)/hour [ton (US)/h]
  • Choose the target unit pound/second [lb/s]
  • Click convert to see the equivalent mass flow rate in pound/second

Key Features

  • Converts between ton (short)/hour and pound/second units accurately
  • Supports mass flow rate measurements used in industrial and engineering fields
  • Provides quick and easy unit translation for process monitoring and analysis
  • Browser-based tool accessible from any device without installation

Examples

  • 2 Ton (short)/hour converts to approximately 1.11 Pound/second
  • 5 Ton (short)/hour converts to approximately 2.78 Pound/second

Common Use Cases

  • Monitoring conveyor or chute throughput of bulk materials like coal and grain
  • Controlling feed or fuel supply rates for boilers and industrial equipment
  • Calculating cargo loading/unloading rates for trucks, ships, and railcars
  • Measuring fuel flow rates for gas turbine and jet engines
  • Specifying propellant flow in rocket propulsion tests
  • Reporting steam and feedwater mass flow in power plants

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct unit selection before conversion to avoid errors
  • Use the tool to translate bulk hourly mass flow rates into per-second values for precise performance analysis
  • Account for potential variations in material properties that may affect actual flow rates
  • Keep in mind the short ton is defined exactly as 2000 pounds for consistent results

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes the short ton is exactly 2000 pounds and does not consider material density variations
  • Converting large time-based units to per-second rates can result in fractional values requiring careful interpretation
  • Measurement accuracy depends on stable process conditions not reflected in the unit conversion alone

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ton (short)/hour measure?
It measures a mass flow rate based on the passage or processing of one U.S. short ton (2000 pounds) of material per hour.

Why convert ton (short)/hour to pound/second?
This conversion allows translating bulk hourly mass flow data into a more precise per-second flow rate for engineering performance and process calculations.

Are material densities considered in this conversion?
No, the conversion assumes fixed definitions and does not adjust for variations in material density or flow conditions.

Key Terminology

Ton (short)/hour [ton (US)/h]
A mass flow rate referring to the transport or processing of one U.S. short ton (2000 lb) of material per hour.
Pound/second [lb/s]
An imperial unit expressing mass flow rate as the number of pounds passing a cross-section each second.
Mass Flow Rate
The quantity of mass passing through a point or system per time unit, critical for process and performance analysis.
