Convert Square metres per minute to Square feet per second
Convert Square metres per minute (m²/min) to Square feet per second (ft²/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft²/s = m²/min × 0.1793985069
About Square metres per minute
The square metre per minute (m²/min) equals 1/60 m²/s ≈0.01667 m²/s, a non-standard unit seen in some process-engineering contexts where heat soak times are measured in minutes rather than seconds. Nuclear fuel rod thermal analysis and large refractory furnace lining design occasionally cite diffusivity in m²/min. 1 m²/min = 1/60 m²/s ≈ 6000 cm²/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.
