Convert centimeter/hour to millimeter/second
Please provide values below to convert centimeter/hour [cm/h] to millimeter/second [mm/s], or Convert millimeter/second to centimeter/hour.
1 cm/h = 0.0027778 mm/s. To convert centimeter/hour to millimeter/second, multiply the value by 0.0027778; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mm/s = 359.997120023 cm/h). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cm/h = 0.0027778 mm/s

Centimeter/hour
Centimeter per hour (cm/h) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in centimeters traveled or covered in one hour.
History/Origin
The centimeter per hour has been used primarily in scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow rates of movement or growth, especially in fields like biology and material science. Its usage became more standardized with the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, cm/h is used in applications such as measuring the rate of biological growth, sedimentation, or the movement of fluids and materials in scientific research and engineering.
Millimeter/second
Millimeter per second (mm/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one millimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The millimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small-scale velocities, especially in fields like fluid dynamics and material science, as a standard unit derived from the metric system.
Current Use
Today, mm/s is commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications to quantify low velocities, such as in microfluidics, biomechanics, and precision manufacturing.
