Convert feet per minute (ft/min) to metres per minute (m/min).
Factor1 ft/min = 0.3048 m/min
Converter
ft/min
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
m/min
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
m/min = ft/min × 0.3048
Multiply any value in feet per minute by 0.3048 to obtain the value in metres per minute.
Worked example
Convert 100 ft/min to m/min.
- 01Start with 100 ft/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.3048 = 30.48 m/min.
Result100 ft/min = 30.48 m/min

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from ft/min to m/min?
1 ft/min equals 0.3048 m/min. To convert, multiply the value in feet per minute by 0.3048.
How do I convert 1 ft/min to m/min?
1 ft/min = 0.3048 m/min. For any value, multiply by 0.3048.
How do I convert m/min back to ft/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 3.28084. So 1 m/min = 3.28084 ft/min.
When would I need to convert foot per minute 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).
