About these units
Centimeter/Minute (cm/min)
A centimeter per minute is a very slow but measurable speed, ideal for documenting the movement of small mechanical devices, capillary flow, microfluidics, or slow conveyor systems. Medical applications include infusion pump rates, which may sometimes be described in cm/min when relating to catheter insertion or microdroplet transport speed. Because centimeters align with everyday physical intuition, this unit strikes a balance between precision and accessibility in niche scientific applications.
Meter/Minute (m/min)
A meter per minute reflects slow but practical speeds for human or mechanical movement. At 1 m/min, motion is deliberate and controlled—appropriate for precision machining, automated stage equipment, or calibration systems. In exercise science, treadmill incline adjustments, warm-up activity, and walking machines may use m/min for exact gait-speed research. The simplicity of dividing by minutes rather than hours makes the unit useful for short-interval calculations in engineering and ergonomics.
