Convert fluid velocity units including meters per second, feet per second, feet per minute, inches per second, centimeters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour, and more.
Meters per second to feet per second:
1 m/s = 3.28084 ft/s
Feet per second to meters per second:
1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s
Feet per second to feet per minute:
1 ft/s = 60 ft/min
Inches per second to feet per second:
1 in/s = 0.0833333 ft/s
Fluid velocity conversions are useful for pipe flow, water systems, pump sizing, HVAC duct velocity, irrigation lines, hydraulic systems, drainage, process piping, and open channel flow.
Use this converter when comparing metric, U.S. customary, liquid, gas, pipe, and duct velocity units.
Your result shows the entered fluid velocity converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The calculator also shows the conversion rate used so you can verify the calculation.
For engineering and fluid system work, make sure the velocity unit matches the pipe chart, duct design table, flow equation, pump data, or specification you are using.
Fluid velocity is the speed at which a liquid or gas moves through a pipe, duct, channel, or flow path.
The common SI unit of fluid velocity is meters per second, abbreviated as m/s.
Fluid velocity is commonly calculated by dividing volumetric flow rate by cross-sectional area.
No. Flow rate measures volume per time, while fluid velocity measures distance traveled per time.
This converter is designed for fluid velocity magnitude conversions, so it uses non-negative values.
