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.
Foot/Hour (ft/h)
A foot per hour is almost comically slow, yet still relevant in specific technical fields. Pipeline corrosion creep, structural deformation, glacial shifts, and certain chemical processes may be measured in ft/h when imperial units are required. While practically invisible to human perception, speeds expressed in ft/h become meaningful over long intervals, providing insight into incremental natural or mechanical change.
