Factor1 m/min = 0.05468066 ft/s
Converter
m/min
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
ft/s
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
ft/s = m/min × 0.05468066
Multiply any value in metres per minute by 0.05468066 to obtain the value in feet per second.
Worked example
Convert 100 m/min to ft/s.
- 01Start with 100 m/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.05468066 = 5.46807 ft/s.
Result100 m/min = 5.46807 ft/s

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