What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change speed values from foot per minute (ft/min), an imperial unit used for moderate speeds, into yard per hour (yd/h), a unit designed for very low speeds or slow material feed rates.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the speed value in foot/minute [ft/min] you want to convert
  • Select yard/hour [yd/h] as the target unit
  • Apply the conversion formula by multiplying the ft/min value by 20
  • View the result in yard/hour for easy interpretation and use

Key Features

  • Converts foot/minute to yard/hour with a simple multiplication formula
  • Supports practical speed conversions for engineering and manufacturing contexts
  • Browser-based and easy-to-use interface
  • Helps translate speeds between different time scales (minutes to hours)

Examples

  • 5 ft/min converts to 5 × 20 = 100 yd/h
  • 0.5 ft/min converts to 0.5 × 20 = 10 yd/h

Common Use Cases

  • Determining elevator travel speeds rated in foot/minute and expressing them in yard/hour
  • Setting conveyor belt speeds in manufacturing and converting to slower feed rates
  • Measuring fabric feed rates in textile and upholstery production lines
  • Describing slow feeder conveyor speeds for packaging or lab experiments

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the speed being converted is within the typical use ranges of the units
  • Use yard/hour for very low speeds where detailed slow material feed rates are needed
  • Remember the difference in time units; a minute-based speed and an hour-based speed represent different scales
  • Double-check conversions in time-sensitive processes to avoid misinterpretation

Limitations

  • Yard/hour is suitable only for very low speeds and may lack precision for faster processes
  • Conversion involves different time bases (minutes vs hours) which must be accounted for carefully
  • Not recommended for applications requiring high-precision speed measurement at higher rates

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the conversion formula from foot per minute to yard per hour?
To convert ft/min to yd/h, multiply the ft/min value by 20.

Why would I convert from ft/min to yd/h?
This conversion helps translate moderate speeds into slower rates useful for processes like textile feed rates or laboratory measurements.

Can yard/hour measure fast speeds accurately?
No, yard/hour is intended for very low speeds and may not provide enough precision for higher speed measurements.

Key Terminology

Foot per minute [ft/min]
An imperial speed unit that quantifies one foot traveled in one minute, commonly used in engineering and building services.
Yard per hour [yd/h]
A unit of linear speed indicating one yard traveled in one hour, often used for very low speeds or slow material feed rates.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to convert a value from one unit to another; in this case, 1 ft/min equals 20 yd/h.
