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.
Yard/Hour (yd/h)
A yard per hour is extremely slow and used only in rare cases where long-term monitoring of tiny movements is necessary—such as soil settlement in construction sites, creeping machinery, or long-term structural drift. Because the yard is an everyday imperial unit, yd/h sometimes appears in engineering logs or legacy datasets, though it is largely replaced by ft/h or mm/h in modern practice. Its use reflects the persistence of imperial measurements in certain specialized contexts.
