What is kilometer per hour (km/h)?

Kilometer per hour (km/h) is a speed unit that represents the number of kilometers traveled in one hour, commonly used in road speed limits and weather reports.

What is foot per minute (ft/min) used for?

Foot per minute (ft/min) is an imperial speed unit often used for specifying elevator speeds, conveyor belts in manufacturing, and air velocities in HVAC systems.

How do I convert km/h to ft/min?

To convert km/h to ft/min, multiply the speed value in km/h by approximately 54.68 according to the conversion factor given.

What Is This Tool?

This tool enables users to convert speed measurements from kilometer per hour (km/h), a metric unit, into foot per minute (ft/min), an imperial unit. It facilitates calculations for various practical applications involving speed.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the speed value in kilometer per hour (km/h).
Select the desired output unit as foot per minute (ft/min).
Click the convert button to obtain the result.
Review the output speed displayed in ft/min for your application.

Key Features

Converts speed from km/h to ft/min quickly and accurately
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation needed
Supports practical use cases in engineering, building services, and transportation
Provides clear conversion formula and examples

Examples

Convert 10 km/h: 10 × 54.6806649169 = 546.81 ft/min
Convert 5 km/h: 5 × 54.6806649169 = 273.40 ft/min

Common Use Cases

Setting elevator travel speeds specified in feet per minute
Measuring conveyor belt speeds in manufacturing settings
Calculating airflows in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts
Road vehicle speeds and travel time estimates
Tracking consumer fitness activity speeds such as cycling or running

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to ensure compatibility between metric and imperial speed units
Apply the conversion in contexts where speed ranges are moderate, as foot/minute suits low to moderate speeds
Double-check unit systems in your project to avoid confusion or errors
Use conversion examples as a reference for manual calculations if needed

Limitations

The foot/minute unit is generally suited for low to moderate speeds, not very high speeds
Mixing metric and imperial units may lead to misinterpretation without careful unit standardization
This conversion does not provide scientific or precision calibration details
