What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to transform speed values from foot/hour (ft/h), an imperial unit used for very slow velocities, into millimeter/second (mm/s), a metric unit widely used in precise engineering and scientific applications. It simplifies the process of converting slow speed measurements into compatible metric terms.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the speed value in foot/hour (ft/h) into the input field
- Select foot/hour as the source unit and millimeter/second as the target unit
- Click the convert button to calculate the result
- View the converted speed in millimeter/second (mm/s)
- Use the output for engineering, geological, or monitoring purposes
Key Features
- Converts foot/hour speeds precisely into millimeter/second units
- Supports very low velocity measurements common in geology and industrial automation
- Browser-based tool requiring no installation
- Clear input and output fields for straightforward usage
- Provides conversion examples for user guidance
Examples
- Convert 10 ft/h: 10 × 0.0846666667 = 0.846666667 mm/s
- Convert 50 ft/h: 50 × 0.0846666667 = 4.233333335 mm/s
Common Use Cases
- Describing slow geological or glacial movement rates over hours or days
- Specifying slow actuator or conveyor speeds in industrial motion control
- Reporting settlement or drift rates in structural monitoring with hourly measurements
- Translating imperial slow speeds into metric units for precise engineering applications
- Setting feed rates for linear actuators and 3D printer heads with sub-millimeter accuracy
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure input values represent average speed over the hour for accurate conversion
- Use high-precision instruments when measuring very slow velocities due to small conversion values
- Avoid rounding errors by using full decimal precision during conversion calculations
- Confirm consistent units to maintain clarity in engineering and scientific reports
- Cross-check converted values when applying in critical industrial or geological monitoring
Limitations
- Foot/hour unit applies only to very slow speeds; converted values in mm/s are very small
- Small magnitude of conversion factor can introduce rounding errors
- Assumes speed is constant throughout the hour, which may not reflect actual variations
- Requires precise instrumentation to measure and verify converted speeds accurately
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does one foot/hour represent?
- One foot/hour (ft/h) is an imperial speed unit indicating travel of one foot over the span of an hour, typically used for very slow speeds.
- Why convert foot/hour to millimeter/second?
- Converting to millimeter/second enables expressing slow imperial speeds in metric terms suitable for precise scientific and engineering measurements.
- Can I use this conversion for fast speeds?
- No, foot/hour is intended for very slow velocities. Using it for faster speeds is not appropriate and may cause inaccurate or cumbersome results.
Key Terminology
- Foot/hour (ft/h)
- An imperial unit of speed representing one foot traveled in one hour, typically used for describing very slow velocities.
- Millimeter/second (mm/s)
- A metric speed unit describing one millimeter traveled each second, commonly used in precision engineering and low-speed motion control.
- Conversion factor
- The numeric value (0.0846666667) used to convert speed from foot/hour to millimeter/second.
