Conversion Formulas

To convert from fpm to m/s:
Meter per second (m/s)=Foot per minute (fpm)×0.00508
To convert from m/s to fpm:
Foot per minute (fpm)=Meter per second (m/s)×196.8504

Examples

1. Converting 13 fpm to m/s:

13fpm=13×0.00508=0.06604m/s

2. Converting 2 m/s to fpm:

2m/s=2×196.8504=393.7008fpm

3. If the speed is 11 fpm, then in m/s it would be:

11fpm=11×0.00508=0.05588m/s

These conversions between fpm and m/s are essential when dealing with speed calculations in various fields.
