Converting from Inch per hour (iph) to Foot per minute (fpm) in Speed

What is Inch per hour (iph)

Inch per hour (iph) is a unit of speed that measures the distance of one inch traveled in an hour. It is commonly used in certain industrial applications where very slow speeds are involved.

What is Foot per minute (fpm)

Foot per minute (fpm) is a unit of speed that measures the distance of one foot traveled in a minute. It is a more common unit used to express speeds in everyday situations, such as measuring the speed of a moving conveyor belt.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between inch per hour (iph) and foot per minute (fpm) are as follows:

• To convert from iph to fpm, multiply the iph value by 0.001388889.
• To convert from fpm to iph, multiply the fpm value by 720.

Examples

1. Converting 3 iph to fpm:

   • 3(iph)×0.001388889=0.004166667(fpm)

2. Converting 13 fpm to iph:

   • 13(fpm)×720=9360(iph)

3. Converting 5 iph to fpm:

   • 5(iph)×0.001388889=0.006944444(fpm)

Conclusion

Use the provided conversion formulas to easily convert speeds from inch per hour (iph) to foot per minute (fpm) and vice versa. This conversion can be particularly useful in various industrial and engineering applications where different speed units are encountered.
