Foot/minute
Foot per minute (ft/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of feet traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and construction to measure speed, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, ft/min is primarily used in fields such as HVAC, ventilation, and certain engineering applications to measure airflow or movement speed where imperial units are preferred.
Millimeter/hour
Millimeter per hour (mm/h) is a unit of measurement that indicates the rate of rainfall or precipitation, representing how many millimeters of water fall in one hour.
History/Origin
The millimeter per hour has been used in meteorology and hydrology to quantify rainfall intensity, especially with the advent of precise rain gauges and weather measurement tools in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, mm/h is commonly used in weather forecasting, climate studies, and hydrological assessments to measure and communicate the intensity of rainfall events.
