Converting from Minutes per foot (mpf) to Speed of sound in steel (ssis)

What is Minutes per foot (mpf)

Minutes per foot (mpf) is a unit used to measure the time it takes for a sound wave to travel one foot. This unit is particularly useful in industries where acoustic measurements are significant, such as engineering, construction, and manufacturing. In basic terms, it indicates how many minutes it takes for sound to travel through a specified distance.

What is Speed of sound in steel (ssis)

The speed of sound in steel (ssis) is a measurement of how fast sound waves can travel through steel material. This speed is crucial for various engineering applications, including testing the integrity of structures and evaluating the performance of materials. The speed of sound in steel is generally higher compared to many other materials because of its density and elasticity.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between minutes per foot (mpf) and speed of sound in steel (ssis), we can use the following formulas:

• For converting mpf to ssis:

  ssis=mpf⋅0.000000852349

• For converting ssis to mpf:

  mpf=ssis⋅0.000000852349

Examples

Let’s look at a few examples to understand the conversion better.

1. Example: Converting 8 mpf to ssis.

   ssis=8⋅0.000000852349=0.0000001065436

2. Example: Converting 5 mpf to ssis.

   ssis=5⋅0.000000852349=0.0000001704698

3. Example: Converting 17 ssis to mpf.

   mpf=17⋅0.000000852349=0.00000005013818

4. Example: Converting 8 ssis to mpf.

   mpf=8⋅0.000000852349=0.0000001065436
