Foot/hour
Foot per hour (ft/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The foot per hour has historically been used in engineering and construction to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units and more common speed measurements like meters per second or miles per hour.
Current Use
Today, foot per hour is rarely used in practical applications but may still appear in specialized fields such as certain engineering, construction, or scientific contexts where imperial units are maintained.
Millimeter/minute
Millimeter per minute (mm/min) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in millimeters traveled per minute.
History/Origin
The millimeter per minute has been used in various scientific and industrial contexts to quantify slow speeds, especially in precision engineering and manufacturing processes. It is derived from the metric system's millimeter unit and the time unit minute, with usage increasing alongside the adoption of metric measurements.
Current Use
Today, mm/min is commonly used in fields such as machining, 3D printing, and material testing to specify the rate of movement or processing speed in precise, small-scale applications.
