What does meter per minute measure?

Meter per minute measures how many metres are travelled in one minute, often used to describe moderate speeds in engineering and manufacturing.

When should I use foot per hour units?

Foot per hour is ideal for expressing very slow speeds such as geological creep or slow actuator movements requiring fine control.

How do I perform the conversion from m/min to ft/h?

Multiply the meter per minute value by 196.8503937008 to get the speed in foot per hour.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps you translate speeds from meter per minute (m/min), a common metric unit of moderate linear velocity, into foot per hour (ft/h), an imperial unit used for describing very slow speeds.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the speed value measured in meter per minute.
Select meter/minute as the input unit and foot/hour as the output unit.
Start the conversion to get the equivalent speed in foot per hour.
Review the result to apply it in your specific context such as manufacturing or geology.

Key Features

Converts speed values from meter/minute to foot/hour accurately using a fixed conversion rate
Supports industrial, geological, and surveying speed measurements
Includes practical examples for better understanding
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions

Examples

Convert 2 m/min to ft/h: 2 × 196.8503937008 = approximately 393.70 ft/h
Convert 0.5 m/min to ft/h: 0.5 × 196.8503937008 = approximately 98.43 ft/h

Common Use Cases

Specifying conveyor or web line speeds in industrial manufacturing
Setting feed rates for machining and laser-processing equipment
Measuring geological creep or glacial movement at very slow velocities
Tracking settlement or drift rates in surveying over hours

Tips & Best Practices

Use foot/hour units for describing highly slow speed movements to capture fine changes
Confirm unit selections to ensure accurate conversions between metric and imperial
Apply this conversion when hourly rate measurements are preferable to per-minute rates
Consider rounding carefully if very small fractional speeds are involved

Limitations

Foot/hour is appropriate only for very slow speeds and less practical for fast movements
Small unit values may lead to rounding inaccuracies in some conversions
Not suitable for high speed conversions due to fractional magnitude

Key Terminology

Meter per minute [m/min]: A speed unit representing the number of metres traveled in one minute, commonly used in industrial settings for moderate linear speeds.
Foot per hour [ft/h]: An imperial unit of speed denoting the distance in feet traveled in one hour, typically used for very slow speed measurements.
Conversion rate: The fixed multiplier used to convert one unit of measure to another, here 1 m/min equals approximately 196.85 ft/h.
