millimeter per second to foot per minute
Convert millimeter per second (mm/s) to foot per minute (ft/min). Use an editable speed converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 mm/s = 0.1968503937 ft/min
Conversion formula
One millimeter per second equals 0.1968503937 foot per minute. Multiply your value in millimeter per second by this factor to get foot per minute. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 millimeter per second:5 × 0.1968503937 = 0.9842519685 ft/min

About these measurements
Speed is distance traveled per unit of time.
The base reference used here is the meter per second. One millimeter per second is 0.001 base units; one foot per minute is 0.00508 base units.
Important distinctions
Mach is excluded because the speed of sound depends on medium and temperature.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert mm/s to ft/min?
