FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kn to m/min?
1 kn equals 30.86667 m/min. To convert, multiply the value in knots by 30.86667.
How do I convert 1 kn to m/min?
1 kn = 30.8667 m/min. For any value, multiply by 30.86667.
How do I convert m/min back to kn?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.03239741. So 1 m/min = 0.0323974 kn.
When would I need to convert knot 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).
