Formula
Formula
ft/min = m/min × 3.28084
Multiply any value in metres per minute by 3.28084 to obtain the value in feet per minute.
Worked example
Convert 10 m/min to ft/min.
- 01Start with 10 m/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 3.28084 = 32.8084 ft/min.
Result10 m/min = 32.8084 ft/min

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from m/min to ft/min?
1 m/min equals 3.28084 ft/min. To convert, multiply the value in metres per minute by 3.28084.
How do I convert 1 m/min to ft/min?
1 m/min = 3.28084 ft/min. For any value, multiply by 3.28084.
How do I convert ft/min back to m/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.3048. So 1 ft/min = 0.3048 m/min.
When would I need to convert metre per minute 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).
