About these units
Millimeter/Hour (mm/h)
A millimeter per hour is extraordinarily slow, used in geology, meteorology, and materials science to measure phenomena like soil creep, tectonic plate micro-motion, or extremely light precipitation (drizzle). In manufacturing, mm/h may describe slow deposition rates in thin-film fabrication or high-precision milling processes. Despite seeming negligible, speeds measured in mm/h can accumulate into significant changes over weeks, months, or years—making them essential for long-term studies.
Mach (20°C, 1 atm) (Ma (20°C))
At 20°C and 1 atmosphere, the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s, making Mach 1 = 343 m/s under those conditions. Mach numbers classify aerodynamic regimes: Mach 0.3–0.8 (Subsonic), Mach 0.8–1.2 (Transonic), Mach 1–5 (Supersonic), Mach 5+ (Hypersonic). Temperature influences Mach speed significantly; colder air slows sound, while warmer air increases its speed. Aircraft design, jet engines, wind tunnels, aerospace testing, and atmospheric re-entry physics all rely heavily on Mach numbers referenced to standard conditions.
