About these units
Foot/Minute (ft/min)
A foot per minute is common in industrial engineering, HVAC air flow analysis, elevator design, and manufacturing processes. Ventilation rates in ducts are often reported in ft/min, making the unit crucial for designing safe and comfortable living spaces. In machining, ft/min corresponds to cutting speed along a tool edge, helping determine tool wear and material removal rates. Despite being less familiar in daily life, ft/min is a key engineering unit.
Meter/Hour (m/h)
A meter per hour is an extremely slow speed, corresponding to the distance of a single meter traveled over a 60-minute period. This unit is rarely encountered in daily life but is useful in engineering contexts where mechanical motion is very slow—such as conveyor systems, slow-moving robotics, geological creep, or precision laboratory instruments. Environmental sciences also use m/h to describe gradual natural processes like glacier movement or soil displacement. The unit highlights the diversity of real-world velocities—from near-light-speed phenomena to movements almost imperceptibly slow.
