FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m²/s to ft²/s?
1 m²/s equals 10.76391 ft²/s. To convert, multiply the value in square metres per second by 10.76391.
How do I convert 1 m²/s to ft²/s?
1 m²/s = 10.7639 ft²/s. For any value, multiply by 10.76391.
How do I convert ft²/s back to m²/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.09290304. So 1 ft²/s = 0.092903 m²/s.
When would I need to convert square metre per second to square foot per second?
Kinematic viscosity conversions between m²/s and ft²/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).
