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.
Foot/hour
Foot per hour (ft/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The foot per hour has historically been used in engineering and construction to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units and more common speed measurements like meters per second or miles per hour.
Current Use
Today, foot per hour is rarely used in practical applications but may still appear in specialized fields such as certain engineering, construction, or scientific contexts where imperial units are maintained.
