Convert foot/second to foot/minute
Please provide values below to convert foot/second [ft/s] to foot/minute [ft/min], or Convert foot/minute to foot/second.
1 ft/s = 60 ft/min. To convert foot/second to foot/minute, multiply the value by 60; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ft/min = 0.0166666666667 ft/s). 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/s = 60 ft/min
- 1 ft/min = 0.0166666666667 ft/s
- 10 ft/s = 600 ft/min
- 100 ft/s = 6000 ft/min
How to Convert Foot/second to Foot/minute
1 ft/s = 60 ft/min
Example: convert 15 ft/s to ft/min:
15 ft/s = 15 × 60 ft/min = 900 ft/min

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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 foot/second in foot/minute?
1 foot/second (ft/s) = 60 foot/minute (ft/min).
How do you convert foot/second to foot/minute?
Multiply the foot/second value by 60. For example, 25 ft/s × 60 = 1500 ft/min.
