Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
in/min = m/day × 0.02734033

Multiply any value in metres per day (volumetric flux) by 0.02734033 to obtain the value in inches per minute (volumetric flux).

Worked example

Convert 100 m/day to in/min.

  1. 01Start with 100 m/day.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.02734033 = 2.73403 in/min.
Result100 m/day = 2.73403 in/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m/day to in/min?
1 m/day equals 0.02734033 in/min. To convert, multiply the value in metres per day (volumetric flux) by 0.02734033.
How do I convert 1 m/day to in/min?
1 m/day = 0.0273403 in/min. For any value, multiply by 0.02734033.
How do I convert in/min back to m/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 36.576. So 1 in/min = 36.576 m/day.
When would I need to convert metre per day (volumetric flux) to inch per minute (volumetric flux)?
Volumetric-flux conversions between m/day and in/min are routine in membrane filtration (RO, UF, MF, NF permeate flux), hydraulic loading specification, water-treatment design, hydrometallurgy and packed-bed column loading, and environmental engineering. LMH (L/m²/h) and gfd (gal/ft²/day) dominate membrane datasheets; m³/m²/h and m³/m²/day cover SI engineering ladders; m/day and cm/s appear as superficial velocity in hydromet and packed-bed work. Volumetric flux is the same physical quantity as superficial velocity (m³/m²/s ≡ m/s) but is kept distinct from the velocity and flow categories because the engineering intent is volumetric throughput per unit area, not bulk motion or total throughput.
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).
