What Is This Tool?

This tool converts speeds expressed in millimeters per second (mm/s) into centimeters per hour (cm/h), facilitating the comparison and interpretation of very slow linear velocities in various scientific and engineering fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the speed value you want to convert in millimeters per second (mm/s)
  • Select or confirm the input unit is millimeter/second and the output unit is centimeter/hour
  • Click the convert button to see the corresponding value in centimeter/hour (cm/h)
  • Review the result and use it for engineering, scientific, or laboratory applications

Key Features

  • Instant conversion between millimeter/second and centimeter/hour units
  • Supports slow speed values relevant to precision engineering and geotechnical monitoring
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring downloads or installations
  • Provides accurate unit definitions and conversion formulas for reference

Examples

  • Convert 2 mm/s to cm/h: 2 mm/s equals 720 cm/h
  • Convert 0.5 mm/s to cm/h: 0.5 mm/s equals 180 cm/h

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying feed rates for linear actuators, precision stages, and 3D printer heads
  • Monitoring vibration velocities for balancing rotating machinery according to ISO standards
  • Measuring slow groundwater seepage velocities in hydrogeology
  • Tracking deformation or settlement rates in geotechnical and structural monitoring
  • Controlling low-speed motions of precision laboratory instrumentation

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure measurement instruments provide precise readings for very slow speeds
  • Use this conversion when needing to express low velocity over longer time intervals
  • Be aware of unit conventions depending on region and standards when reporting results
  • Confirm consistent use of constant speed assumptions when applying conversion values

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes a constant speed without accounting for temporal variations
  • Centimeter/hour is a non-SI unit and might be less familiar or accepted in some regions
  • Accurate results depend on precise measurement tools due to very small velocities

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 millimeter/second equal in centimeter/hour?
1 millimeter per second is equivalent to 360 centimeters per hour.

Why convert speed from millimeters per second to centimeters per hour?
Converting to centimeters per hour allows easier representation and comparison of very slow speeds over longer time frames, useful in scientific and engineering analyses.

Is centimeter per hour a standard unit in all regions?
Centimeter per hour is a non-SI derived unit and may be less commonly used or accepted in certain regions or standards requiring SI units.

Key Terminology

Millimeter/second [mm/s]
A metric unit of speed representing one millimeter traveled in one second, used for very low linear velocities especially in engineering.
Centimeter/hour [cm/h]
A non-SI unit of linear speed expressing the number of centimeters traveled in one hour, used to describe very slow motion in scientific contexts.
Conversion rate
The factor used to translate a speed measure from one unit to another, specifically here 1 mm/s equals 360 cm/h.
