About Square feet per minute
The square foot per minute (ft²/min) equals 0.3048²/60 ≈ 1.548 × 10⁻³ m²/s. It appears in US HVAC, ventilation, and turbine-cooling design where velocities are quoted in ft/min. 1 ft²/min ≈ 1548 cSt.
About Square feet per second
The square foot per second (ft²/s) equals 0.3048² = 0.09290304 m²/s. It is the coherent FPS kinematic viscosity unit, used in US aerospace, hydraulic machinery, and civil/coastal engineering. Water at 20 °C ≈ 1.082 × 10⁻⁵ ft²/s; air at 20 °C ≈ 1.632 × 10⁻⁴ ft²/s. 1 ft²/s ≈ 92903 cSt.
