Convert meter/second to foot/minute

Please provide values below to convert meter/second [m/s] to foot/minute [ft/min], or Convert foot/minute to meter/second.

1 m/s = 196.850393701 ft/min. To convert meter/second to foot/minute, multiply the value by 196.850393701; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ft/min = 0.00508 m/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 m/s = 196.850393701 ft/min

Meter/second

The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled per second.

History/Origin

The meter per second has been used as a standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI) since the adoption of the SI system in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light.

Current Use

It is commonly used in physics, engineering, and everyday contexts to measure velocity, such as in transportation, aerodynamics, and scientific research.


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.
