Formula

Formula
m/min = ft/s × 18.288

Multiply any value in feet per second by 18.288 to obtain the value in metres per minute.

Worked example

Convert 1 ft/s to m/min.

  1. 01Start with 1 ft/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 18.288 = 18.288 m/min.
Result1 ft/s = 18.288 m/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from ft/s to m/min?
1 ft/s equals 18.288 m/min. To convert, multiply the value in feet per second by 18.288.
How do I convert 1 ft/s to m/min?
1 ft/s = 18.288 m/min. For any value, multiply by 18.288.
How do I convert m/min back to ft/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.05468066. So 1 m/min = 0.0546807 ft/s.
When would I need to convert foot 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).
