Velocity
m/mintocm/s
Convert metres per minute (m/min) to centimetres per second (cm/s).
Factor1 m/min = 1.666667 cm/s
Converter
m/min
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
cm/s
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
cm/s = m/min × 1.666667
Multiply any value in metres per minute by 1.666667 to obtain the value in centimetres per second.
Worked example
Convert 60 m/min to cm/s.
- 01Start with 60 m/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60 × 1.666667 = 100 cm/s.
Result60 m/min = 100 cm/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from m/min to cm/s?
1 m/min equals 1.666667 cm/s. To convert, multiply the value in metres per minute by 1.666667.
How do I convert 1 m/min to cm/s?
1 m/min = 1.66667 cm/s. For any value, multiply by 1.666667.
How do I convert cm/s back to m/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.6. So 1 cm/s = 0.6 m/min.
When would I need to convert metre per minute to centimetre per second?
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).
