Convert foot/minute to foot/second
Please provide values below to convert foot/minute [ft/min] to foot/second [ft/s], or Convert foot/second to foot/minute.
1 ft/min = 0.0166666666667 ft/s. To convert foot/minute to foot/second, multiply the value by 0.0166666666667; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ft/s = 60 ft/min). 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/min = 0.0166666666667 ft/s
- 1 ft/s = 60 ft/min
- 10 ft/min = 0.166666666667 ft/s
- 100 ft/min = 1.66666666667 ft/s
How to Convert Foot/minute to Foot/second
1 ft/min = 0.0166666666666667 ft/s
Example: convert 15 ft/min to ft/s:
15 ft/min = 15 × 0.0166666666666667 ft/s = 0.25 ft/s

Foot/minute
Foot per minute (ft/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of feet traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and construction to measure speed, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, ft/min is primarily used in fields such as HVAC, ventilation, and certain engineering applications to measure airflow or movement speed where imperial units are preferred.
Foot/second
Foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The foot per second has been used historically in engineering, physics, and aeronautics, originating from the imperial measurement system where the foot is a standard unit of length. Its usage predates the metric system and has been common in the United States and other countries using imperial units.
Current Use
Today, ft/s is primarily used in fields such as physics, engineering, and aviation to measure speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. It is also used in sports and safety standards related to speed measurements.
