About Square centimetres per hour

The square centimetre per hour (cm²/h) equals 1/36 000 000 m²/s. Environmental geophysicists use cm²/h when measuring heat flow in sedimentary rock columns or permafrost layers. Granite has a diffusivity of ≈36 cm²/h; dry sand ≈9 cm²/h. 1 cm²/h = 1e-4/3600 m²/s ≈ 2.778 × 10⁻⁸ m²/s.

About Square inches per hour

The square inch per hour (in²/h) equals ≈1.792 × 10⁻⁷ m²/s, used in US heat-transfer handbooks and HVAC insulation specifications. Pre-SI tables for building insulation board and refractory brick often list thermal diffusivity in in²/h. Firebrick: ≈3.5 in²/h; rigid foam: ≈0.8-1.2 in²/h. 1 in²/h = 0.00064516/3600 m²/s.
