Velocity

mm/stocm/s

Convert millimetres per second (mm/s) to centimetres per second (cm/s).

Factor1 mm/s = 0.1 cm/s

Converter

mm/s

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
10cm/s

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
cm/s = mm/s × 0.1

Multiply any value in millimetres per second by 0.1 to obtain the value in centimetres per second.

Worked example

Convert 100 mm/s to cm/s.

  1. 01Start with 100 mm/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.1 = 10 cm/s.
Result100 mm/s = 10 cm/s

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from mm/s to cm/s?
1 mm/s equals 0.1 cm/s. To convert, multiply the value in millimetres per second by 0.1.
How do I convert 1 mm/s to cm/s?
1 mm/s = 0.1 cm/s. For any value, multiply by 0.1.
How do I convert cm/s back to mm/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 10. So 1 cm/s = 10 mm/s.
When would I need to convert millimetre per second to centimetre per second?
Velocity conversions are needed for fluid flow analysis (line velocity targets, erosional limits), gas-stream calculations, and equipment specs that mix m/s, ft/s and engineering speed units.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
