Velocity
cm/stom/min
Convert centimetres per second (cm/s) to metres per minute (m/min).
Factor1 cm/s = 0.6 m/min
Converter
cm/s
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
m/min
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
m/min = cm/s × 0.6
Multiply any value in centimetres per second by 0.6 to obtain the value in metres per minute.
Worked example
Convert 100 cm/s to m/min.
- 01Start with 100 cm/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.6 = 60 m/min.
Result100 cm/s = 60 m/min

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from cm/s to m/min?
1 cm/s equals 0.6 m/min. To convert, multiply the value in centimetres per second by 0.6.
How do I convert 1 cm/s to m/min?
1 cm/s = 0.6 m/min. For any value, multiply by 0.6.
How do I convert m/min back to cm/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.666667. So 1 m/min = 1.66667 cm/s.
When would I need to convert centimetre per second to metre per minute?
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).
