FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf·m/s to ft·lbf/s?
1 kgf·m/s equals 7.233014 ft·lbf/s. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force metre per second by 7.233014.
How do I convert 1 kgf·m/s to ft·lbf/s?
1 kgf·m/s = 7.23301 ft·lbf/s. For any value, multiply by 7.233014.
How do I convert ft·lbf/s back to kgf·m/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.138255. So 1 ft·lbf/s = 0.138255 kgf·m/s.
When would I need to convert kilogram-force metre per second to foot-pound force per second?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
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).
