Convert centimeter/second to centimeter/minute

Please provide values below to convert centimeter/second [cm/s] to centimeter/minute [cm/min], or Convert centimeter/minute to centimeter/second.

1 cm/s = 59.999988 cm/min. To convert centimeter/second to centimeter/minute, multiply the value by 59.999988; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cm/min = 0.01666667 cm/s). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Quick Reference

Centimeter/second

A unit of speed representing the distance of one centimeter traveled in one second.

History/Origin

The centimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts where metric units are standard, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the centimeter and second, both of which have historical roots in the metric system developed in France during the late 18th century.

Current Use

The centimeter per second is primarily used in scientific research, fluid dynamics, and engineering applications where small-scale speed measurements are required. It is also used in certain fields like biology and physics for precise velocity measurements.


Centimeter/minute

A unit of speed representing the number of centimeters traveled per minute.

History/Origin

The centimeter per minute has been used in various scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow speeds, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is derived from the centimeter, a metric unit of length, combined with the minute, a unit of time.

Current Use

Currently, the centimeter per minute is primarily used in specialized fields such as material testing, manufacturing processes, and scientific research where precise measurement of slow movements or rates is required. It is less common in everyday applications, having been largely replaced by SI units like meters per second.
