Convert Square inches per minute to Square centimetres per second
Convert Square inches per minute (in²/min) to Square centimetres per second (cm²/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
cm²/s = in²/min × 0.1075266667
About Square inches per minute
The square inch per minute (in²/min) equals ≈1.075 × 10⁻⁵ m²/s, found in US military and aerospace specifications for thermal protection materials and ablative heat shields. Some NASA technical reports on reentry vehicle TPS (Thermal Protection System) materials quote diffusivity in in²/min. 1 in²/min = 0.00064516/60 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.
