Convert Square centimetres per hour to Square metres per minute
Convert Square centimetres per hour (cm²/h) to Square metres per minute (m²/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
m²/min = cm²/h × 1.666666667e-6
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 minute
The square metre per minute (m²/min) equals 1/60 m²/s ≈0.01667 m²/s, a non-standard unit seen in some process-engineering contexts where heat soak times are measured in minutes rather than seconds. Nuclear fuel rod thermal analysis and large refractory furnace lining design occasionally cite diffusivity in m²/min. 1 m²/min = 1/60 m²/s ≈ 6000 cm²/s.
