FAQ

What is the conversion factor from ft²/s to m²/s?
1 ft²/s equals 0.09290304 m²/s. To convert, multiply the value in square feet per second by 0.09290304.
How do I convert 1 ft²/s to m²/s?
1 ft²/s = 0.092903 m²/s. For any value, multiply by 0.09290304.
How do I convert m²/s back to ft²/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 10.76391. So 1 m²/s = 10.7639 ft²/s.
When would I need to convert square foot per second to square metre per second?
Kinematic viscosity conversions between ft²/s and m²/s arise in hydraulic fluid selection, lubricant grading (ISO VG), pipe flow Reynolds number calculations, and fuel-oil specification. Kinematic viscosity equals dynamic viscosity divided by fluid density and cannot be directly compared to dynamic viscosity without that context.
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).
