Convert Feet per minute to Meters per second
ft/min × 0.00508 = m/s
m/s × 196.8504 = ft/min
To convert feet per minute (ft/min) to meters per second (m/s), multiply the feet per minute value by 0.00508. 1 ft/min = 0.00508 m/s, and 1 m/s = 196.8504 ft/min. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.
