About these units
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.
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.
