Formula
Formula
m/min = km/h × 16.66667
Multiply any value in kilometres per hour by 16.66667 to obtain the value in metres per minute.
Worked example
Convert 1 km/h to m/min.
- 01Start with 1 km/h.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 16.66667 = 16.6667 m/min.
Result1 km/h = 16.6667 m/min

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from km/h to m/min?
1 km/h equals 16.66667 m/min. To convert, multiply the value in kilometres per hour by 16.66667.
How do I convert 1 km/h to m/min?
1 km/h = 16.6667 m/min. For any value, multiply by 16.66667.
How do I convert m/min back to km/h?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.06. So 1 m/min = 0.06 km/h.
When would I need to convert kilometre per hour 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).
