About Square feet per minute
The square foot per minute (ft²/min) equals ≈1.548 × 10⁻³ m²/s, an uncommon transitional unit appearing in some older US industrial furnace design charts and heat-treatment process sheets where holding times are expressed in minutes. 1 ft²/min = 60 ft²/h = 0.09290304/60 m²/s ≈1.548 × 10⁻³ m²/s.
About Square centimetres per second
The square centimetre per second (cm²/s) equals 1 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s and is the CGS unit for thermal diffusivity, sometimes called the stokes by analogy with kinematic viscosity. Pre-SI thermophysics literature and many older reference databases list values in cm²/s: iron ≈0.18 cm²/s; aluminium ≈0.84 cm²/s; water ≈1.4 × 10⁻³ cm²/s. 1 cm²/s = 1 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s.
