What Is This Tool?

This tool enables conversion from foot per hour (ft/h), which measures very slow speeds in imperial units, to kilometer per minute (km/min), a metric speed unit expressing how many kilometers are traveled per minute. It is designed to translate extremely slow speed measurements into more commonly used metric units.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in foot/hour (ft/h) that you wish to convert
  • Select foot/hour as the input unit and kilometer/minute as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to obtain your result in kilometer/minute (km/min)
  • Review the converted speed value for use in your application or analysis

Key Features

  • Converts very slow speed measurements from foot/hour to kilometer/minute
  • Based on a fixed conversion rate ensuring consistent results
  • Suitable for geological, industrial, and traffic-related speed analyses
  • Browser-based and easy to use without additional software
  • Supports engineering and process applications involving speed

Examples

  • 100 ft/h converts to 0.000508 km/min by multiplying 100 by 0.00000508
  • 5000 ft/h equals 0.0254 km/min using the conversion factor 0.00000508
  • Use the formula 1 ft/h = 0.00000508 km/min for manual calculations

Common Use Cases

  • Describing very slow geological or glacial creep rates over several hours
  • Specifying slow actuator or conveyor speeds in industrial environments
  • Reporting hourly settlement or drift rates of structures in surveys
  • Modeling transport and traffic flow where minute-based distances help
  • Engineering processes involving material handling with precise speed needs

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure foot/hour measurements are accurate to minimize rounding errors
  • Use this conversion primarily for very slow speeds to maintain meaning
  • Verify results when converting speeds to higher magnitude units
  • Cross-reference converted speeds with appropriate engineering standards
  • Apply this in contexts where translating imperial slow speeds to metric is needed

Limitations

  • Conversion values are very small due to the large difference between units
  • Significant rounding errors can occur if original data isn't precise
  • Foot/hour is only suitable for extremely slow velocities
  • Kilometer/minute better suits higher speed ranges and faster motion
  • Conversions outside slow speed contexts may not provide useful results

Frequently Asked Questions

What does one foot per hour represent?
It means traveling one foot of distance over the span of one hour, representing very slow speeds.

Why convert foot/hour to kilometer/minute?
Converting makes it easier to compare very slow speeds against common metric units suitable for engineering or traffic applications.

Is foot/hour suitable for high-speed measurements?
No, foot/hour is intended for very slow velocities, while kilometer/minute is better for higher speeds.

Key Terminology

Foot/hour [ft/h]
An imperial speed unit indicating one foot traveled per hour, used to describe very slow velocities.
Kilometer/minute [km/min]
A metric speed unit indicating how many kilometers are traveled in one minute, useful for higher speed ranges.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to translate a value from foot/hour to kilometer/minute, specifically 1 ft/h equals 0.00000508 km/min.
