What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you translate speed measurements from foot per hour, a unit used for very slow motion, into the knot as defined for UK maritime and aviation usage, enabling better interpretation for navigation, weather, and industrial applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in foot/hour (ft/h) that you want to convert.
  • Select or confirm the target unit as knot (UK) [kt (UK)].
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent speed in knots.
  • Use the result for navigation planning, speed comparison, or scientific analysis.

Key Features

  • Converts speed from foot/hour [ft/h] to knot (UK) [kt (UK)] accurately using the standardized conversion rate.
  • Designed for applications involving very slow speeds and standard nautical service speeds.
  • Supports practical conversion needs in maritime, aviation, meteorology, geology, and industrial contexts.
  • Browser-based tool with straightforward input and output fields for quick results.
  • Displays conversion results based on the international nautical mile used in UK practice.

Examples

  • Convert 10 ft/h: 10 × 0.0001644737 = 0.001644737 kt (UK).
  • Convert 1000 ft/h: 1000 × 0.0001644737 = 0.1644737 kt (UK).

Common Use Cases

  • Describing very slow geological or glacial creep rates over time.
  • Specifying low-speed actuator or conveyor motion in industry requiring fine control.
  • Reporting settlement or drift rates of structures measured hourly.
  • Expressing vessel cruising speeds, aircraft groundspeeds, or ocean current velocities in maritime navigation and aviation.
  • Providing meteorological data on ocean and wind speeds.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Remember that foot/hour values are typically very small and convert to very small knot values.
  • Use this conversion to interpret slow movements in standard nautical terms for clarity in reports or navigation.
  • Confirm that the knot unit corresponds to the international nautical mile (1852 metres) as used in UK contexts.
  • Double-check input values for accuracy when dealing with very low speeds.

Limitations

  • Foot/hour measures extremely slow speeds, so converted knot values tend to be very small and may be less practical outside niche or scientific uses.
  • This tool assumes the UK designation of the knot based on the international nautical mile, which is important for historical or regional distinctions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does foot/hour measure?
Foot/hour measures speed as the distance of one foot traveled in one hour, used for very slow velocities.

What is a knot (UK)?
A knot (UK) is a speed unit equal to one nautical mile per hour, based on the international nautical mile of 1852 metres, used in maritime and aviation contexts.

Why would I convert foot/hour to knot (UK)?
Converting foot/hour to knot (UK) helps translate very slow speeds into a familiar nautical speed unit for navigation, weather reporting, or vessel speed comparison.

Key Terminology

Foot/hour [ft/h]
An imperial speed unit representing one foot of distance traveled in one hour, commonly used to express very slow movement rates.
Knot (UK) [kt (UK)]
A speed unit equal to one international nautical mile per hour, used in UK maritime and aviation contexts to describe vessel and aircraft speeds.
International Nautical Mile
A standardized distance of 1852 metres used for measuring nautical speeds including the UK knot.
