Centihertz Unit | All you need to know

The centihertz (symbol: cHz) is a metric unit of frequency equal to one-hundredth of a hertz. One centihertz represents 0.01 cycles per second and is used to measure very low-frequency events and oscillations. Although it is not commonly used in everyday applications, the centihertz is useful in scientific research, environmental monitoring, control systems, and other fields where slow periodic changes need to be measured accurately. It belongs to the metric prefix system.

One centihertz is equal to 0.01 hertz, 10 millihertz, 0.00001 kilohertz, 0.6 revolutions per minute, and 0.0628319 radians per second. The centihertz is an SI-derived unit commonly used for precise low-frequency measurements.
