Convert Square feet per minute to Square feet per second
Convert Square feet per minute (ft²/min) to Square feet per second (ft²/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft²/s = ft²/min × 0.01666666667
About Square feet per minute
The square foot per minute (ft²/min) equals ≈1.548 × 10⁻³ m²/s, an uncommon transitional unit appearing in some older US industrial furnace design charts and heat-treatment process sheets where holding times are expressed in minutes. 1 ft²/min = 60 ft²/h = 0.09290304/60 m²/s ≈1.548 × 10⁻³ m²/s.
About Square feet per second
The square foot per second (ft²/s) equals 0.09290304 m²/s, the imperial base unit for thermal diffusivity analogous to m²/s. It is used in US aerospace engineering and combustion research for highly conductive materials and high-temperature plasmas. Diamond, the most thermally diffusive solid at ≈7 cm²/s, converts to ≈0.0075 ft²/s; silver to ≈0.00167 ft²/s. 1 ft²/s = 3600 ft²/h = 0.09290304 m²/s.
