What does centimeter per minute measure?

Centimeter per minute measures linear speed indicating how many centimeters are traveled in one minute, typically used for slow velocity rates.

Why convert from cm/min to m/min?

Converting from cm/min to m/min helps express slow speeds in a larger, more commonly used unit for easier understanding and specification in industrial and engineering fields.

Is meter per minute an SI unit?

No, meter per minute is not an SI unit but is widely used in engineering and manufacturing to indicate linear speeds.
