About these units
Millimeter/Minute (mm/min)
A millimeter per minute is a slow mechanical speed often encountered in CNC machining, automated laboratory equipment, and controlled industrial processes. In medicine, infusion pumps, surgical robotics, and controlled incisions may specify movement in mm/min to maintain safety and precision. By using millimeters instead of centimeters or meters, the unit ensures fine control in delicate operations where even small deviations matter.
Foot/Second (ft/s)
The foot per second is an imperial speed unit used in engineering, ballistics, aviation, and certain sports sciences. It expresses the number of feet traveled per second. Ballistics experts use ft/s to measure bullet velocities and projectile speeds, particularly in countries with strong imperial-unit traditions. Engineers may use ft/s in fluid flow calculations or mechanical system design when working with legacy data. Although ft/s is rarely seen in daily life, it remains relevant in niche disciplines where imperial units dominate, offering a smaller, more precise scale than mph.
