Convert Square centimetres per hour to Square metres per hour
Convert Square centimetres per hour (cm²/h) to Square metres per hour (m²/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
m²/h = cm²/h × 0.0001
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 metres per hour
The square metre per hour (m²/h) equals 1/3600 m²/s ≈2.778 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s, used in large-scale geotechnical and civil engineering analyses. Soil consolidation models and groundwater thermal plume simulations often use m²/h because the full diffusion process unfolds over hours to days. 1 m²/h = 10 000 cm²/h ≈ 2.778 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s.
