About Metric ton per hour (t/hr)
A metric mass-flow unit used for bulk-industrial processes: mining conveyor throughput, cement kiln feed rates, grain-handling conveyors, steel-mill billet flow, and wastewater treatment capacities. An industrial cement kiln might process 50–400 t/hr. T/hr is also the default unit for quoting capacity of large ship-loaders, crushing plants, and power-plant coal-feed systems.
About Pound per hour (lb/hr)
An imperial mass-flow unit dominant in US HVAC, boiler and steam-engineering work, petroleum refining, and chemical process plants. Boiler capacities in the US are traditionally rated in lb/hr of steam output (e.g., "500 horsepower boiler" ≈ 17,250 lb/hr of saturated steam). Fuel consumption on large engines and turbines is frequently quoted in lb/hr.

Understanding Metric tons per hour
The Metric ton per hour (symbol: t/hr) is a unit of mass flow rate. A metric mass-flow unit used for bulk-industrial processes: mining conveyor throughput, cement kiln feed rates, grain-handling conveyors, steel-mill billet flow, and wastewater treatment capacities. An industrial cement kiln might process 50–400 t/hr. T/hr is also the default unit for quoting capacity of large ship-loaders, crushing plants, and power-plant coal-feed systems.
Metric tons per hour are commonly used in chemical processing, fuel systems, and environmental monitoring.
Understanding Pounds per hour
The Pound per hour (symbol: lb/hr) is a unit of mass flow rate. An imperial mass-flow unit dominant in US HVAC, boiler and steam-engineering work, petroleum refining, and chemical process plants. Boiler capacities in the US are traditionally rated in lb/hr of steam output (e.g., "500 horsepower boiler" ≈ 17,250 lb/hr of saturated steam). Fuel consumption on large engines and turbines is frequently quoted in lb/hr.
It belongs to the imperial measurement system.
Pounds per hour are commonly used in chemical processing, fuel systems, and environmental monitoring.
