What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps you transform speed measurements from mile per hour (mi/h) to foot per minute (ft/min), supporting various applications in transportation, engineering, building services, and manufacturing.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the speed value in mile/hour (mi/h) that you want to convert.
  • Select 'mile/hour [mi/h]' as the source unit and 'foot/minute [ft/min]' as the target unit.
  • Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent speed in foot/minute instantly.

Key Features

  • Converts speed values between mile/hour and foot/minute accurately using the established conversion factor.
  • User-friendly interface that supports quick unit selection and value input.
  • Browser-based tool accessible anywhere to assist with transportation and engineering speed calculations.

Examples

  • 5 mi/h converts to 440 ft/min (5 × 88 = 440 ft/min).
  • 10 mi/h converts to 880 ft/min (10 × 88 = 880 ft/min).

Common Use Cases

  • Calculating vehicle speeds for road travel and traffic management where mi/h is traditional.
  • Determining elevator travel speeds in buildings, which are typically rated in ft/min.
  • Measuring conveyor belt speeds in manufacturing processes using ft/min units.
  • Assessing air flow speeds in HVAC ductwork where ft/min is the preferred unit.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the appropriate unit is used based on the speed range and application context — mi/h for higher vehicle speeds, ft/min for moderate engineering speeds.
  • Double-check unit selections before converting to maintain accuracy and relevance.
  • Use this tool as a quick reference but confirm important engineering calculations with detailed specifications.

Limitations

  • Mile/hour is designed for higher speed measurements typical in transportation and may not always suit low-speed engineering contexts.
  • Foot/minute fits lower to moderate speeds, so conversions should consider industry context to avoid unit misuse.
  • Conversion precision can be affected due to scale differences and rounding in different industries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact conversion rate from mile/hour to foot/minute?
The conversion rate is exactly 1 mile/hour equals 88 foot/minute.

Why convert mile/hour to foot/minute?
Converting from mile/hour to foot/minute helps translate faster vehicle speeds into smaller linear velocity units used in engineering fields such as elevator speeds and conveyor belt operations.

Are mile/hour and foot/minute interchangeable for all speed measurements?
No, mile/hour is suited for higher speeds mostly in transportation, while foot/minute is better for moderate or lower speeds common in building services and manufacturing.

Key Terminology

Mile/hour [mi/h]
A unit of speed representing one statute mile traveled in one hour, commonly used in transportation and traffic calculations.
Foot/minute [ft/min]
An imperial speed unit equal to one foot traveled per minute, often used in engineering, building services, and ventilation measurements.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to translate a value from one unit to another; here, 1 mi/h equals 88 ft/min.
