Velocity
ft/mintokm/h
Convert feet per minute (ft/min) to kilometres per hour (km/h).
Factor1 ft/min = 0.018288 km/h
Converter
ft/min
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
km/h
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
km/h = ft/min × 0.018288
Multiply any value in feet per minute by 0.018288 to obtain the value in kilometres per hour.
Worked example
Convert 1000 ft/min to km/h.
- 01Start with 1000 ft/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.018288 = 18.288 km/h.
Result1000 ft/min = 18.288 km/h

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from ft/min to km/h?
1 ft/min equals 0.018288 km/h. To convert, multiply the value in feet per minute by 0.018288.
How do I convert 1 ft/min to km/h?
1 ft/min = 0.018288 km/h. For any value, multiply by 0.018288.
How do I convert km/h back to ft/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 54.68066. So 1 km/h = 54.6807 ft/min.
When would I need to convert foot per minute to kilometre per hour?
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).
