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 minute (lb/min)
An imperial mass-flow unit used for medium-timescale US engineering applications — HVAC humidification, compressed-air purging, and packaging-line mass dispensing. Also appears in older internal-combustion-engine specifications where lb/min airflow was used before the industry standardized on g/s or kg/hr.
