Converting from Inch per minute (ipm) to Seconds per foot (spf)

What is Inch per minute (ipm)

Inch per minute (ipm) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in inches that an object travels in one minute. It is commonly used in the field of machining and manufacturing to measure the speed at which a cutting tool moves through a material.

What is Seconds per foot (spf)

Seconds per foot (spf) is a unit of speed that measures the time in seconds it takes for an object to travel one foot. It is often used in the context of measuring the speed of conveyor belts, material handling systems, and other processes where the time it takes to move a certain distance is important.
