Foot/minute
Foot per minute (ft/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of feet traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and construction to measure speed, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, ft/min is primarily used in fields such as HVAC, ventilation, and certain engineering applications to measure airflow or movement speed where imperial units are preferred.
Meter/hour
Meter per hour (m/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The meter per hour has been used historically in various contexts to measure slow speeds, especially in fields like transportation and engineering, though it is less common today due to the adoption of SI units like meters per second.
Current Use
Currently, meter per hour is primarily used in specialized applications such as measuring slow-moving processes, environmental monitoring, or in certain industrial contexts where precise, low-speed measurements are required.
