Formula
Formula
ft/min = ft/s × 60
Multiply any value in feet per second by 60 to obtain the value in feet per minute.
Worked example
Convert 1 ft/s to ft/min.
- 01Start with 1 ft/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 60 = 60 ft/min.
Result1 ft/s = 60 ft/min

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from ft/s to ft/min?
1 ft/s equals 60 ft/min. To convert, multiply the value in feet per second by 60.
How do I convert 1 ft/s to ft/min?
1 ft/s = 60 ft/min. For any value, multiply by 60.
How do I convert ft/min back to ft/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01666667. So 1 ft/min = 0.0166667 ft/s.
When would I need to convert foot per second to foot 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).
