Square centimeters per second to square micrometers per second

Type a value in cm²/s to get it in µm²/s instantly.

1,000µm²/s

That's 100× as fast as a protein in water, while salt in water is 1.5× faster. In an hour a molecule would wander about 2.683 mm.

What it means

How fast does it spread?

Diffusion distances go with the square root of time: four times as long gets you only twice as far.

The math

How to convert cm²/s to µm²/s

To convert square centimeters per second to square micrometers per second, multiply by 100,000,000.

Example: 1×10⁻⁵ cm²/s × 100,000,000 = 1,000 µm²/s.

In the other direction, 1 µm²/s = 1×10⁻⁸ cm²/s.
