Conversion Formula

m²/min = mm²/s × 6.000000000e-5

About Square millimetres per second

The square millimetre per second (mm²/s) equals 1 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s and is the standard unit in materials engineering and the laser-flash diffusivity method (ASTM E1461, ISO 22007-4). Metals span roughly 2-180 mm²/s; polymers 0.07-0.2 mm²/s; ceramics 0.3-10 mm²/s. Numerically identical to the kinematic viscosity unit (cSt) in SI context. 1 mm²/s = 1 × 10⁻⁶ 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.
