Factor1 m/min = 0.03239741 kn
Converter
m/min
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
kn
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
kn = m/min × 0.03239741
Multiply any value in metres per minute by 0.03239741 to obtain the value in knots.
Worked example
Convert 1000 m/min to kn.
- 01Start with 1000 m/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.03239741 = 32.3974 kn.
Result1000 m/min = 32.3974 kn

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