Convert foot/hour to millimeter/second
Please provide values below to convert foot/hour [ft/h] to millimeter/second [mm/s], or Convert millimeter/second to foot/hour.
1 ft/h = 0.0846667 mm/s. To convert foot/hour to millimeter/second, multiply the value by 0.0846667; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mm/s = 11.811018972 ft/h). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ft/h = 0.0846667 mm/s
- 1 mm/s = 11.811018972 ft/h
- 10 ft/h = 0.846667 mm/s
- 100 ft/h = 8.46667 mm/s
How to Convert Foot/hour to Millimeter/second
1 ft/h = 0.0846667 mm/s
Example: convert 15 ft/h to mm/s:
15 ft/h = 15 × 0.0846667 mm/s = 1.2700005 mm/s

Foot/hour
Foot per hour (ft/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The foot per hour has historically been used in engineering and construction to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units and more common speed measurements like meters per second or miles per hour.
Current Use
Today, foot per hour is rarely used in practical applications but may still appear in specialized fields such as certain engineering, construction, or scientific contexts where imperial units are maintained.
Millimeter/second
Millimeter per second (mm/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one millimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The millimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small-scale velocities, especially in fields like fluid dynamics and material science, as a standard unit derived from the metric system.
Current Use
Today, mm/s is commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications to quantify low velocities, such as in microfluidics, biomechanics, and precision manufacturing.
